The footage in the music video accompanies Scatman who stands in front of many backgrounds in different locations (through green screen) as he sings about the problems of the world, and invites the viewer to join him in his fantasy world called Scatland. The song expresses hope and satires the meaningless divide in the modern world between cultures and race.
