Foreign Sand
Roger Taylor Lyrics

Here we go, ain't it grand
We're embarking on a new adventure, and it's amazing!

Here we stand on foreign sand
We're in a new place, and it might be unfamiliar, but we're facing it head-on.

And we're not alone
We have each other for support and guidance.

Why do we fear what we don't understand
We're often scared of things or people we don't know or don't understand.

Can't we reach out our hands to try to just say hello
Instead of fearing the unknown, we should try to make connections and reach out to others.

Try to plant a seed, fulfill the need, to make it grow, just say hello
If we take the time to connect with others, even in small ways, we can build relationships and create opportunities for growth.

And when you're far from home try to learn from what you see
When we're in new or unfamiliar places, we should try to be open-minded and learn from our surroundings.

Your eyes will tell you everything you need
By observing and taking in our surroundings, we can learn a lot about the world and the people in it.

Why do we dread what we don't really know
We often fear what we don't understand, even if there's no real basis for that fear.

Come not as concubine, come not as foe
We should approach new people and situations with an open mind and without any preconceptions or biases.

Come with intentions clearly shown
When we're engaging with new people or entering new situations, we should be transparent about our intentions and goals.

And though you're far from home try to learn from all you see
Even if we're in an unfamiliar place or situation, we should try to learn and grow from the experience.

Your mind will tell you everything you need, everything you need
By being open and receptive to new experiences, we can learn a lot and expand our thinking.

Red, yellow, black and white
No matter what our race or ethnicity, we can all stand together.

Every man stand in the light, stand not alone
We should all work together and support one another, rather than working in isolation.

It's not a lie, it's not a sham we play for keeps, it's not a scam
Our connections with others are meaningful and real, and we should work to build and maintain them.

No bigotry, we're hand in hand
We should reject prejudice and discrimination and work together towards common goals.

It ain't a cinch, we make a stand
Building connections and relationships takes work and effort, but it's worth it.

We learn to live on foreign sand, just say hello
When we're in unfamiliar situations or places, we should make an effort to connect with the people around us and learn from our surroundings.

Why do we despise when we can't even speak
It's easy to write off or dismiss people we don't understand or can't communicate with.

We keep on spreading lies
Sometimes, we perpetuate falsehoods or negative stereotypes about people who are different from us, which only perpetuates fear and mistrust.

As far as we know it's the only way to be
We may feel like our negative beliefs or prejudices are justified, but in reality, they're holding us back from meaningful connections and experiences.

And though you're far from home try to learn what you could be
Even when we're in a new or unfamiliar place, we should try to be open to learning and growing as individuals.

Your heart will tell you everything you need
By being in tune with our emotions, we can learn a lot about ourselves and our place in the world.

Even though you stand, here you stand on foreign sand
When we're in unfamiliar places or situations, it can be disorienting, but we should still try to stand tall and be confident.

Together we stand, on foreign sand
We're stronger when we work together, even when we're in unfamiliar places or situations.

Here we stand, on foreign sand
We may feel unsteady or unsure in new situations, but we're still standing strong.
