Beats of the World

Walking down the street
Hearing all the beats
Going all around
Construction sites
Alarm systems going off
Honking horns
Mothers yelling at there kids
Drivers screaming at other drivers
Jackhammers pounding the ground
Water fountains pouring down water
Coins falling out of hands
People talking on cell phones
Guitars from street performers
Getting caught up into the sound
Just wanting to scream out
Letting the world know
This is the beat
This is the real music
Others join
Wanting to help
Walking down the middle
Of the street
Cars pulling over
People getting out of cars
Starting a group
That stands strong
Stomping there feet
At the ground
Screaming out
These are the beats of the world
Others join
Wanting to have fun
Police come out
To stop us
From having the world go mad
By the beats of music
We go on
Starting a riot
Dancing down the street
And singing our hearts out
No one can stop us
Kids join in
Hitting trash cans
With there hands
Police form a wall
We still go strong
Breaking it down
They know
They cannot win
When we dance to the beat
Of the world
