There's a schoolboy singing in Soweto

There's an old man praying in Tokyo

He's one of us, he's one of us



I hear the beating of your heart



There's a postman walking in Georgetown

There's a lady living in Helsinki

He's a boxer fighting in South Moscow

He's one of us, he's one of us



Ohhhhh



There's a newborn child in Kathmandu

There's a barmaid laughing in Ohio

He's a common man with simple dreams

He's one of us



Yeah, yeah, yeah



And if someday you hear there's a Paris down in Texas

And if someday you hear there's Berlin, Africa

After all the names are just a vague illusion

The man behind is all too real



(CHORUS)

Oh, I hear the beating of your heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I hear the beating of your heart



And if someday you hear there's a Paris down in Texas

And if someday you hear there's Berlin, Africa

After all the names are just a vague illusion

The man behind is all too real



(CHORUS)

Oh, I hear the beating of your heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I hear the beating of your heart

Ooooh your heart
