In a symphony there's unity
All the sounds agree
From the violin to the timpani
All the parts play the same melody
Chords of sound timbres resound
All around there's harmony
Join the band, sing in harmony
Take a stand, fight for unity
Strike a chord, hear the harmony
One accord, one family
From a different place, background or race
Various styles and tastes
But when I love you and you love me
Hand in hand that's the way it should be
Oh, Can't we see we could be free
Why can't the world live in harmony
Join the band, sing in harmony
Take a stand, fight for unity
Strike a chord, hear the harmony
One accord, one family
I'll hold you up
Never let you down
If we can work together
That's harmony
So let's get along
Everyone sing the same song
No need to fight
No right or wrong
(Come on) join the band and sing in harmony
Take a stand, fight for unity
Black and white together
We can face all kinds of weather
No storm can sever when we're one family
There's so many flavours in the world
Then you gotta let 'em flow
And spread a little love so they have a chance to grow
And spread more love to the brother
Who's adjacent to another brother of another colour, yo
Don't you know there's nothing we can't do
If you stand for me and I stand for you
Cease the perpetuation of hatred in our nation
And start improving our relations
Latifah in the mix with Take 6
Extending the lease on peace, with patience
Hailing the harmony, you arm in arm with me
Showing unity from Kansas to Canarsie
I believe, I believe it can be done
But it can't be done unless we can be one
So let the sun shine in friend
Before you reach your end-ing
Join the band and sing in harmony
Take a stand, fight for unity
Black and white together
We can face all kinds of weather
No storm can sever when we're one family
Join the band and sing in harmony
Take a stand, fight for unity
Black and white together
We can face all kinds of weather
No storm can sever when we're one family
Join the band and sing in harmony
Take a stand, fight for unity
Black and white together
We can face all kinds of weather
No storm can sever when we're one family
Cease.
