作曲 : Janet Jackson & Terry Lewis & James Harris III & Sly Stone
 作词 : Harris, Jackson, Lewis
With  music  by  our  side
To  break  the  color  lines
Let ’s  work  together
To  improve  our  way  of  life
Join  voices  in  protest
To  social  injustice
A  generation  full  of  courage
Come  forth  with  me
People  of  the  world  today
Are  we  looking  for  a  better  way  of  life
We  are  a  part  of  the  rhythm  nation
People  of  the  world  unite
Strength  in  numbers  we  can  get  it  right
One  time
We  are  a  part  of  the  rhythm  nation
This  is  the  test
No  struggle  no  progress
Lend  a  hand  to  help
Your  brother  do  his  best
Things  are  getting  worse
We  have  to  make  them  better
It ’s  time  to  give  a  damn
Let ’s  work  together  come  on
People  of  the  world  today
Are  we  looking  for  a  better  way  of  life
We  are  a  part  of  the  rhythm  nation
People  of  the  world  unite
Strength  in  numbers  we  can  get  it  right
One  time
We  are  a  part  of  the  rhythm  nation
People  of  the  world  today
Are  we  looking  for  a  better  way  of  life
We  are  a  part  of  the  rhythm  nation
People  of  the  world  unite
Strength  in  numbers  we  can  get  it  right
One  time
We  are  a  part  of  the  rhythm  nation
****Michael,this  is  for  You.
