Rhythm of the Sands

Under the baobab tree, whispers of the ancestors call Feet in the river, rising through the fog Shadows dance in the firelight, stories untold Heartbeats echo the rhythm, breaking from the cold Feel the ground shake The spirits awake In the night we unite No more chains to break Dance through the fire Feel the spirit ignite Our force arising In the heart of the night We move as one Under the stars so bright Tribal hearts beating in the endless night Rise and rise, rise and rise Rise and rise, rise and rise Rivers of memory Flowing deep and wide Voices from the village Carried on the tide Through the storms we wander, finding our way In the groove of the ancestors we sway and we pray Feel the ground shake, the spirits away In the night we unite, no more chains to break Dance through the fire, feel the spirit ignite Our first horizon in the heart of the night We move as one under the stars so bright Travel hearts beating, in the endless night Rise and rise rise and rise rise and rise rise and rise Slow the beat, let the echoes ring In the silence, hear the soul sing From the dust we rise, stronger than before Afro spirit forevermore Ancestors calling Feel the flow Dance through the fire Feel the spirit ignite Our first sunrise In the heart of the night We move as one Under the stars so bright Tribal hearts beating In the endless night Oh, we fly Life, echoes of home, forever we roam Drowning faith, spirits calling home
