Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Under the acacia trees Whispers of the old place cold Feet in the red earth Rising through the fall Shadows dance in the firelight Stories untold Hearts beat into the rhythm Brave and bold Through the dust and the heat We find our way Ancestors guide and I turn into thee Struggles in the sword but the spirit stays strong In every step we sing our song Dance through the fire Let the rhythm ignite I froze so rising In the heart of the night Dance through the fire Let spirits take flight Afro soul rising Under the moonlight Dance through the fire Feel the rhythm ignite Afro soul rising In the heart of the night Dance through the fire Let spirits take flight Afro soul rising Behold the night In the quiet of the dawn Doubt starts to creep But the beat pulls us back from the depths so deep Harmonies lift us, no more chains to bind Together we rise, leaving pain behind Dance through the fire the rhythm ignite I froze so rising in the heart of the night Dance through the fire the spirits take flight I froze so rising under the moonlight Dance through the fire Through the rhythm ignite I froze so rising In the heart of the night Dance through the fire The spirits take flight I froze so rising Beyond the night Echoes remain Echoes on Echoes on Echoes remain It goes on
