Drummer Girl

[Intro] Dum-da, dum-da, doom! Dum-da, dum-da, doom! Ka-ka-ta-ka, do-do-drum! Boom-ta-ka, boom-ta-ka, hey! [The First Beat] I stood barefoot on the crimson earth, No riches, just weight and wonder. Deep within, a rhythm stirred— I was daring and bold. Mama said once, “Let truth shape your words”. “Let rhythm guide them.” So I leaned into the drum, Found their voice , Found rhythm in every beat. Boom-chi-ka, boom-boom-dum Dum-da, dum-da, doom! Ka-ka-ta-ka, do-do-drum! Boom-ta-ka, boom-ta-ka, hey! [Chorus] Drum it in. Drum of history. Drum of joy. Drum of hope. Drum of peace. Watch out! (Hey now!) Here comes… The drummer girl! [Across the Sea] In every drum, I hear a different tongue, Whispers of generations, humming fresh beats each day. Stories of joy and pain Found healing, When I drummed them in. Boom-chi-ka, boom-boom-dum Dum-da, dum-da, doom! Ka-ka-ta-ka, do-do-drum! Boom-ta-ka, boom-ta-ka, hey! [Chorus] Drum it soft or loud. Drum your truth, no crowd. Drum of hope, of play. Let rhythm clear way. Drummer girl, She drums in joy. Hands of fire, She drums it in, She drums in peace. Heads turn! Here comes… The drummer girl! [Stage Without Mic] There were no stages, No lights, No shining screens— Only streets, People gathered, Young and old, Drawn by a rhythm, Of the talking drum. Boom-chi-ka, boom-boom-dum Dum-da, dum-da, doom! Ka-ka-ta-ka, do-do-drum! Boom-ta-ka, boom-ta-ka, hey! Boom-chi-ka, boom-boom-dum Dum-da, dum-da, doom! Ka-ka-ta-ka, do-do-drum! Boom-ta-ka, boom-ta-ka, hey! [Chorus] Drummer girl, Hears the world Tender… Drum of peace and light. Drum through day and night. Drum of joy, of now. Feel it rise somehow. No voice? – Just drum. [Outro] Drummer girl, Hears the world and drums its joy. No disguise, no holding back, Her only power is her flame. Step back! (Ooh-ooh-ooh!) Here comes… The drummer girl! Dum-da, dum-da, doom! Baka-tiki, dum-dum-dee! Gudu-gudu, taka-ka! That’s rhythm, That’s heartbeat. Break the silence, Tame the chaos Drummer Girl, Drum of history. Drum of joy. Drum of hope. Drum of Peace. Watch out! (Hey now!) Here comes… The drummer girl! Dum-da, dum-da, doom!
