FOREIGN SAND – YOSHKI & ROGER TAYLOR

here we go ain’t it grand
here we stand on foreign sand
we’re not alone

why do we fear what we don’t understand
can’t we reach out our hands
to try just say hello,
try to plant a seed fulfill the need
to make it grow just say hello

and when you’re far from home
try to learn from what you see
your eyes will tell you everything you need

why do we dread what we don’t really know
come not as concubine come not as foe
come with intentions clearly shown
try to plant a seed fulfill the need
to make it grow just say hello,

and tho 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
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 sham 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
far as we know it’s the only way to be
try to plant a seed fulfill the need
to make it grow just say hello

and tho you’re far from home
try to learn what you could be
your heart will tell you everything you need

and tho 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 on foreign sand
together we stand here we stand on foreign sand
