Even though the world doesn't know each other
We walk in the same direction
Like those lemmings that march off a cliff into the ocean
For no apparent reason and no objection
You know that direction, I call it the direction of me
My goals, my stuff, how do I get first place?
And could somebody up there cut me a break
So I can win the lottery
Then all of a sudden somebody shows up
Who's totally set apart from the rest
Well He's heading in the other direction for one
And there's a peace in His eyes and a rhythm to His step
It's as if He's found the answer to life
And come to find out the answer's not me, myself, or I
I think I'm sticking with that guy
My heart will beat as one
To the beat of a different drum
Oh, the rhythm of Your love
My heart is dancing now
In time with what I've found
Oh, the rhythm of Your love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
As if I didn't say enough in the first verse
There's something else that's bugging me
How can I have just one heart that beats
For so many things at the same time continually?
It just doesn't make since
I mean, technically I've only got one heartbeat in there
But I dance with so many things
And do so many jigs, you'd think I was Fred Astaire
Oh, my heart will beat as one
To the beat of a different drum
Oh, the rhythm of Your love
My heart is dancing now
In time with what I've found
It's the rhythm of Your love
Now I'm no rocket scientist
But it seems that every time
You give piece of your heart away
It cannot be healthy, nor can it be as strong as...
Well let's say when the whole heart is beating as one
For one thing, one rhythm in unison
And that, my friend, is good advice for anyone
My heart will beat as one
To the beat of a different drum
Oh, it's the rhythm of Your love
My heart is dancing now
In time with what I've found
Oh, it's the rhythm
My heart will beat as one
To the beat of a different drum
Oh, it's the rhythm of Your love
My heart is dancing now
In time with what I've found
Oh, it's the rhythm of Your love, oh, Your love
I'm dancing to the rhythm of Your love, oh, oh
