Lyrics

Intro

(Heh)

(Heh)

Hoya

Hoya

Hoya

Verse 1

Fire in the earth

Drum call the rain

Roots remember

Dust know my name

(Know my name)

Leaders step forward

Circle goes wide

Ancestors breathing

Deep in my side

Pre-Chorus

Come closer

Come closer

Feel the ground lean

Come closer

Come closer

The beat is waking

Chorus

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Take the fire

Pass it round

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Every voice a drum sound

Drop

Boom say the log

(Ti ti boom)

Boom say the log

(Ti ti boom)

Roll it low

Roll it low

Roll it slow then go

Verse 2

Hands on the skin

Palm and heel

Elders nod

The young ones feel

(Feel it feel it)

Step to the left

Stamp to the right

Shadow and sun

Both in the light

Pre-Chorus

Come closer

Come closer

The ground is shaking

Come closer

Come closer

The night is waking

Chorus

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Take the fire

Pass it round

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Yebo njalo

(Yebo njalo)

Every voice a drum sound

Drop

Boom say the log

(Ti ti boom)

Boom say the log

(Ti ti boom)

Roll it low

Roll it low

Roll it slow then go

Bridge

(One drum only)

Call the village

Call the hill

Hear the answer

Standing still

Breathe in

(One breath)

Breathe out

(Boom)

Final Groove

Log drum talking

Log drum reign

Wooden thunder

Breaking chains

Leader calling

Group replies

Louder louder

To the skies

Roll the pattern

Tight and deep

Every heartbeat

In the beat

Outro

(Boom)

Hoya

Hoya

Silence

That's the power

(Boom)
