[Instrumental Intro, introducing the Instruments] [Intro] First strikes against the drums Epic and impactful Introducing the bongo drums Adding snares and rattles [Prechorus] Hands to the drum feet to the ground Feel the pulse of life all around [Verse] A crack of thunder under my feet The earth shakes it can’t be beat Dust rises high it meets the sky The first strike echoes loud it wakes the land A bongo’s heartbeat raw under my hand Snares like whispers sharp they cut the sand The earth is breathing do you understand [Prechorus] Hands to the drum feet to the ground Feel the pulse of life all around [Chorus] Boom crash the ancient heart beats Echoes rise through the forest streets Bongo calling to the spirits again Dancing for the sun Crying for the rain [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Bongo beats like a heart alive Snares snap sparks in the hive Rattles whisper tales untold Rattles shake the air spirits start to rise A chant so deep it fills the skies Feet pounding dirt under moonlit cries The fire speaks truth no room for lies [Prechorus] Hands to the drum feet to the ground Feel the pulse of life all around [Chorus] Boom crash the ancient heart beats Echoes rise through the forest streets Bongo calling to the spirits again Dancing for the sun Crying for the rain [Instrumental] [Bridge] (Hands collide the fire ignites) (Chanting voices light the night) (Spirits rise to join the sound) (Ancient power all around) (Native feet dance they leap they fall) (Underneath the stars a cosmic call) (Rain falls gently like tears from the past) (The drum keeps time the moment will last) [Solo] [Prechorus] Hands to the drum feet to the ground Feel the pulse of life all around Hands to the drum feet to the ground Feel the pulse of life all around Hands to the drum feet to the ground Feel the pulse of life all around [Chorus] Boom crash the ancient heart beats Echoes rise through the forest streets Bongo calling to the spirits again Dancing for the sun Crying for the rain [Outro - Instrumental] One time for the revolution Two times for the life Three times for the motherland Four times for the ancestors Five times for the rhythm Six times for the sun Seven times for the soul Eight times for the stars
