The rhythm walked with us hand in hand,

The marching feet across guided land,

The rhythm consumed us one and all,

The knocking stick against dividing wall,

The rhythm it pushed us moon and light,

The construction machines on factory site,

The rhythm it made us who we are,

The revving engine of a future car,

The rhythm now we owe a debt,

The primal groove we did forget,

The rhythm is under computer control,

The heartbeat of a fading soul,
