I Hear the Beat of The Drum

I hear the beat
Of the drum

Voices rise
In unison

Hey a
Hey a

I hear the beat
Of the drum

I feel my heart
Swell
And a pride rise
Within

Hey a
Hey a

I hear the beat
Of the drum

My foot
Begins to tap

I want to sing

Hey a
Hey a

I want to dance
I feel a happiness
A sense of calm

As I stand and listen
To Mother Earth's
Heart beat

I hear the beat
Of the drum

Voices rise
In unison

It is like the shawl
I have kept wrapped around me

Has risen

Hey a
Hey a

I am home

At last
