The heartbeat and the human voice?
Open up the heavens of possibilities
Expanding our minds into infinite degrees

May bring health and strength to you
While others can destroy and some will renew

Everlasting and fantastic
Out of Africa with word, sound, and powers
Through Persia, Europe, India, and China
