Children of the Drum

Ancestors calling... Hear the drum... Hear the drum... Before the kingdoms fell... Before the borders were drawn... There was a heartbeat... One rhythm... One people... [Verse 1] Walking through the dust of forgotten roads, Carrying stories that the old world knows. Voices of the elders riding on the breeze, Speaking through the forests and the ancient trees. Every scar a lesson, every chain a flame, Trying to break the spirit but we rose again. From the desert sands to the ocean foam, The rhythm of the drum always leads us home. [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it? Calling through the night... Can you feel it? Burning like a light... [Chorus] We are the children of the drum! (Hey!) From the mountains we come! (Hey!) Through the fire and the storm! (Hey!) Still beating as one! (Hey!) We are the children of the drum! (Hey!) Under the moon and the sun! (Hey!) One heart! One soul! One people! One drum! [Verse 2] They built their walls but they couldn't stop the sound, The heartbeat of the people shaking sacred ground. Generations rising from the ashes and the pain, Like thunder in the distance rolling back again. No fear in our eyes, no chains on our minds, The spirit of the ancestors forever intertwined. The future is calling, the old ways remain, The rhythm of freedom flowing through our veins. [Bridge] Ohhhhh... Ohhhhh... Aya-heya! Aya-heya! Aya-heya! Drums of the earth! Drums of the sky! Drums of the people! Never die! Can you hear them? Can you hear them? The voices of a thousand generations... [Final Chorus] We are the children of the drum! (Hey!) From the mountains we come! (Hey!) Through the fire and the storm! (Hey!) Still beating as one! (Hey!) One heart! One soul! One nation of rhythm! We are the children of the drum! [Outro] Children... Of the drum... One heartbeat... One people... One... One... One...
