Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows of our history, we find the pain
The echoes of a world divided, in vain
We're searching for a beacon, a light to guide
But the darkness whispers secrets, and we can't hide

[VERSE 1]
Are we going to let everything go, tire everything out, break everything?
Don't we have enough misfortune and evil here?
Dom and Tom in a boat, fall into the water, Caledonia
Who remains Aboriginal at the end of the colonies?

[CHORUS]
Just dance, let the rhythm take control
Beguine, zouk, let the music make us whole
Boys and girls, all mixed up, races and skins as one
We're breaking free, we've just begun

[VERSE 2]
And if someone tells you, "God is dead!"
See the fear and the remorse in their eyes
But if someone tells you, "God is black!"
Ebony Mary and ivory angels, a different surprise

[CHORUS]
Just dance, let the rhythm take control
Beguine, zouk, let the music make us whole
Boys and girls, all mixed up, races and skins as one
We're breaking free, we've just begun

[BRIDGE]
An SS20 or a 20 SS, to each their heroes
Warsaw or Soweto, to each their ghettos
Thrown out Gypsies, humiliated homosexuals, for a good Aryan
A thousand Indians decimated for a proud American

[HOOK]
We're caught in the beat, our hearts beating as one
Rise above the pain, let the music have won

[CHORUS]
Just dance, let the rhythm take control
Beguine, zouk, let the music make us whole
Boys and girls, all mixed up, races and skins as one
We're breaking free, we've just begun

[OUTRO]
Swing, shake, here we go, forever we all bound together
Color and blood mixed together, a new world to discover
Just roll, let the music take us high
In this celebration, we'll never say goodbye
