[Verse] Back to the days when the sun kissed our skin Dancing in the dust where the beats would begin Under the mango tree where the good times would grow That was the place where we used to go [Chorus] Ayiyiyi Feel the rhythm in your soul Where the drums would talk and the stories unfold Oh ayiyiyi Let the ancestors know We still remember the place we used to go [Verse 2] We built a kingdom with laughter and cheers No clock to bind us no weight of the years Every breeze was a whisper every star was aglow In that sacred spot where we used to go [Bridge] Echoes of the laughter still ring in my mind Footsteps in the sand nothing’s left behind But the spirit lives on like a river that flows Taking me back to the place we used to go [Chorus] Ayiyiyi Feel the rhythm in your soul Where the drums would talk and the stories unfold Oh ayiyiyi Let the ancestors know We still remember the place we used to go [Verse 3] Hands on the djembe hearts open wide We danced to freedom with nothing to hide Now I hear the chorus the winds always show Calling me back to the place we used to go
