The Drum Keeps Turning

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Morning cracks across the savanna sky

Drum skin tight beneath my palm

Grandmother's hands still moving through the dust

Calling every rhythm home

Pre-Chorus

I hear the lowland thunder

I feel the red earth sing

The circle opens wider

And pulls me in its ring

Chorus

Oh the drum keeps turning

Turning like the sun

Every heartbeat answering

Where the rivers run

Oh the drum keeps turning

Turning till we're one

Verse 2

Piano keys a river on the plains

Notes like cattle moving slow

Brass and reed and rolling tide of rain

Wash the canyon walls below

Pre-Chorus

I hear the lowland thunder

I feel the red earth sing

The circle opens wider

And pulls me in its ring

Chorus

Oh the drum keeps turning

Turning like the sun

Every heartbeat answering

Where the rivers run

Oh the drum keeps turning

Turning till we're one

Bridge

Hands up high

Feet in the clay

Old songs rise

New songs stay

Hands up high

Feet in the clay

Chorus

Oh the drum keeps turning

Turning like the sun

Every heartbeat answering

Where the rivers run

Oh the drum keeps turning

Turning till we're one
