Drum Rhythm
Earth rhythm
Drums beat
Rising dust
Dancing feet.
Language lost
Whole peoples gone
The Earth cries
A mourning song.
Painted face,
Moon rise,
Elders gone,
Wisdom dies.
Rising nations
Hope is vast
Young bloods grow
Embrace the past.
Drum rhythm,
Hands raised,
Prayerful song,
For God the praise.
