Moonlight Rhythm

Intro

(Djembe groove)

Mm-mm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

The sun goes down, the shadows fade away

We left behind the troubles of the day

The fire sparks and rises to the trees

Carrying our rhythm on the night breeze

Bare feet touching red soil earth

Celebrating movement, celebrating our birth

The drums begin to speak, they call our name

And every single heartbeat beats the same

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pulse? Can you feel the heat?

Moving to the tempo of the drums on the street

Look up at the sky, let your spirit unwind

Leaving all the worries of the world far behind

Chorus

Oh, dancing underneath the golden glow

Where the river bends and the night winds blow

The silver moon is watching over the floor

Witness to the rhythm and the sweat and more

Move your waistline, let the spirit take control

Afrobeat magic healing up your soul

Moonlight witness, shining from above

Guiding every step in a dance of love

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, moonlight rhythm

Oh-oh-oh, feel it within

Verse 2

The elders sit and watch the circle grow

With history and power shining deep inside

A calabash of palm wine passed around to share

The scent of roasted plantain hanging in the air

We sway to the left, then step to the right

Chasing all the darkness out into the night

The ancestors are smiling at the joy we bring

Listen to the night as the voices sing

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pulse? Can you feel the heat?

Moving to the tempo of the drums on the street

Look up at the sky, let your spirit unwind

Leaving all the worries of the world far behind

Chorus

Oh, dancing underneath the golden glow

Where the river bends and the night winds blow

The silver moon is watching over the floor

Witness to the rhythm and the sweat and more

Move your waistline, let the spirit take control

Afrobeat magic healing up your soul

Moonlight witness, shining from above

Guiding every step in a dance of love

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, moonlight rhythm

Oh-oh-oh, feel it within

Bridge

The moon is smiling down, the night is young

A thousand stories waiting to be sung

From the root to branches we rise with the sound

As the sacred rhythm shakes the holy ground

Chorus

Oh, dancing underneath the golden glow

Where the river bends and the night winds blow

The silver moon is watching over the floor

Witness to the rhythm and the sweat and more

Move your waistline, let the spirit take control

Afrobeat magic healing up your soul

Moonlight witness, shining from above

Guiding every step in a dance of love
