One Heart One Drum

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Dawn breaks over the savanna wide

The drummers wake the sleeping hills

My feet remember older roads

That carried every tribe before me still

Pre-Chorus

And the rhythm turns inside

And it pulls me from the tide

Of everything I used to know

Of everywhere I used to go

Chorus

We move like the river moves

We sing like the rain approves

One heart one drum one land

Beneath the sky's wide hand

Post-Chorus

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

Verse 2

The sun rolls gold across the plain

My mother's song still on the breeze

I leave my name beside the flame

And dance with all the years at ease

Pre-Chorus

And the rhythm turns inside

And it carries what I hide

The beat of every soul before

That knocks upon my wanting door

Chorus

We move like the river moves

We sing like the rain approves

One heart one drum one land

Beneath the sky's wide hand

Breakdown

Drums

Drums

Call the earth

Call them home

Chorus

We move like the river moves

We sing like the rain approves

One heart one drum one land

Beneath the sky's wide hand

Post-Chorus

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

Bridge

Dust that rises turns to stars

The old ones watch from where they are

I carry fire in my bones

I carry thunder in my tones

Chorus

We move like the river moves

We sing like the rain approves

One heart one drum one land

Beneath the sky's wide hand
