Fire That Never Ends

Verse 1

Dawn breaks over the savanna plain

Dust rising where the herds have gone

I carry water from the river home

My mother's voice a distant song

Pre-Chorus

And the drums keep calling

Calling me to remember

And the earth keeps turning

Turning under my feet

Chorus

We are the children of the red horizon

Weaving our stories into the wind

Hands that have sown and hands that have mended

We carry the fire that never ends

Verse 2

Grandfather speaks of rains that came

Before the seasons learned to lie

I trace the lines upon his hand

A map of every passed-by year

Pre-Chorus

And the drums keep calling

Calling me to remember

And the earth keeps turning

Turning under my feet

Chorus

We are the children of the red horizon

Weaving our stories into the wind

Hands that have sown and hands that have mended

We carry the fire that never ends

Bridge

Mbira whispers through the night

Cowrie shells and woven light

Step together step as one

Ancestors watch the dance begun

Drum Break

Taka taka taka

Ko ko ko

Taka taka taka

Ko ko ko

Chorus

We are the children of the red horizon

Weaving our stories into the wind

Hands that have sown and hands that have mended

We carry the fire that never ends

We carry the fire

We carry the fire
