From this house, to the world, we will go, hand in hand.
We're walking out now, all the people. Bring your love along. To the world, we will go. We're reaching out now. Built of love, for the people, bringing hope, We're calling out. Look around you, find your neighbor, share the peace.
Its all about freedom without fear. Everyone, for the future, will you give a little now.
Work for justice, let the children play songs of hope. Pray for the strength to live now, Live with honor, Let your light shine, for a better day, pray we can walk the way.
The way of peace, the way of freedom, the way of hope. We will walk.
From this house, to the world, we will go hand in hand.
Its all about freedom without fear. all the people, for the future, pray we can walk the way.
The way of peace, the way of freedom, the way of hope, we will walk.
from this house, to the world, we will go. hand in hand.
Built of love, for the people. Bearing good fruit.
Look around you, find your neighbor, share the peace.
From this house, To the world, we will go hand in hand.
hand in hand. from this house. Amani.

When it's slow, it dies and goes flat. plus, it's an "african" song, and I really can't imagine them not putting energy in it. Personally, I like the tempo we took it :)

to fast

The soloists have no soul.... the rest is good.

it only goes flat if you allow it too... the keys are having attention to pitch and listening to the choir. but you're right it can be the coolest song in the world, but if it's out of tune, no one gives a shit.

It was a very good job. A little fast, methinks, but still very well performed.
