There's a pulse that's pounding, an air surrounding the streets,
The beat,
It's a rushing wind that flows within,
It's the beat, the beat,
Oh, oh,
Everywhere you turn there are hearts that burn with the beat,
The beat,
And the movement grows, you can tell who knows the beat,
The beat,
Oh, oh,
Hear the beat.
It is a timeless message of his love, oh yeah,
It's the voice of the holy one,
Listen, listen; the beat of a different drum.
There's a new day dawning for those who belong to the beat,
The beat,
We're not gonna hide, we'll march with pride to the beat,
The beat,
Oh, oh,
Hear the beat,
Oh, oh,
Move to the beat.
It's not the music that the band is playing,
Hear the message that the father's saying,
Listen to the heart of all creation,
It's beating out the song of our salvation.
It's a losers game if you feel ashamed of the beat,
The beat,
His word is out, you can never doubt the beat,
The beat,
Don't you feel the urge, the mighty surge of the beat?
The beat,
Hold the banner high, we will live and die for the beat,
The beat,
Oh, oh,
The beat,
Oh, oh,
The beat of a different drum,
Oh,
The beat of a different drum,
Oh, oh,
The beat of a different drum.
