5. Foreign Sand 

Here we go - ain't it grand 

Here we stand on foreign sand 

And we're not alone 

Why do we fear what we don't understand 

Can't we reach out our hand to try just say 'hello' 

Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello 

And when you're far from home try to learn from all you see 

Your eyes will tell you everything you need 

Why do we dread what we really don't know 

Come not as concubine - come not as foe 

Come with intentions clearly shown 

Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello 

And though you're far from home try to learn from all you see 

Your mind will tell you everything you need - everything you need 

Here we go ain't it grand 

Here we stand on foreign sand 

And we're not alone 

Red, yellow, black and white 

Every man stand in the light - stand not alone 

It's not a lie - it's not a shame we play for keeps - it's not a scam 

No bigotry - we're hand in hand - it ain't a cinch - we make a stand 

We learn to live on foreign sand 

Just say hello 

Why do we despise when we can't even speak 

We keep on spreading lies 

As far as we know it's the only way to be 

Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello 

And though you're far from home try to learn what you could be 

Your heart will tell you everything you need 

even though you stand here you stand on foreign sand 

Ain't it grand here we stand 

On foreign sand 

Together we stand 

Here we stand 

On foreign sand
