• [Fozzie has asked Harry Belafonte where he gets his ideas for his songs] 

  Harry Belafonte : Well, they don't come easily, you have to get inspired. Like the song we're going to do next; I discovered that song in Africa. I was in a country called Guinea; and I went deep into the interior of the country and in a little village, I met with a storyteller. And that storyteller went way back into African tradition and African mythology and began to tell the story about the fire, which means the sun, and about the water, and about the earth, and then he pointed out that all these things put together turn the world around. And that all of us are here for a very, very short time and in that time when we're here, there really isn't any difference in any of us, if we take time to understand each other. And the question is, do I know who you are, do you know who I am, do we care about each other? 'Cause if we do, together, we can turn the world around.
