Spirit of the Drum V2

Spirit of the Drum

Beat of the drum, heart of the land,
Fire in the sky and stone in my hand.
Whispers rise from the roots below,
Calling the wind, where the wild things go.

Ohhh—ayah hey, ayah ho
Call the spirit, let it flow.
Circle round the sacred flame,
Speak the stars, call the name.

Eyes of the hawk, claw of the bear,
Smoke in my lungs, bones laid bare.
River speaks with silver tongue,
Old as the earth, forever young.

Ohhh—ayah hey, ayah ho
Call the spirit, let it flow.
Circle round the sacred flame,
Speak the stars, call the name.

Aya, aya, ooo nah hey
Earth and sky, show me the way.
Drumbeat rising, soul takes flight,
Shadow and sun, merge in the night.

Ohhh—ayah hey, ayah ho
Spirit dances, soft and low.
Hear the heartbeat, feel the flame,
I am the earth—I am the name.
