From the recording My Feet Remember
Lyrics
I heard that drum...
and my whole soul turned around.
Drum call, flute cry
Dust rise, we come alive
Drum call, flute cry
My feet remember
I walked a long road, wore a borrowed name
Chased the bright lights, played the city game
But one low drum in the evening air
Said, child, your home is still right there
Red earth rising, smoke in the sky
Old hearts laughing, firelight high
One flute calling through the wind
And all my lost years came dancing in
One clap, two steps, shoulder to shoulder
No more running, I came in closer
The circle opened, I stepped inside
And something wild woke up alive
My feet remember
My feet remember
Beat that ground and bring me home
My feet remember
My feet remember
Home was in me all along
Hey hey, let that drum roll
Hey hey, let that flute call
All these years, all these roads
Home was in me all along
Beat that ground
Beat that ground
Let it rise, let it rise
My feet remember
Silver hair shining in the sun
Strong old hands still know how to drum
Faces glowing, eyes so bright
We raise the dust, we own the night
By the river, by the flame
Every voice knew my name
I didn’t lose what made me whole
I carried home inside my soul
One clap, two steps, shoulder to shoulder
No more hiding, no looking over
The circle opened, I stepped inside
And all my roots came back alive
My feet remember
My feet remember
Beat that ground and bring me home
My feet remember
My feet remember
Home was in me all along
Hey hey, let that drum roll
Hey hey, let that flute call
All these years, all these roads
Home was in me all along
I don’t need my younger days
I got fire in me still
When that rhythm calls my name
Every beat becomes my will
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
My feet remember
My feet remember
Beat that ground and bring me home
My feet remember
My feet remember
Home was in me all along
Hey hey, let that drum roll
Hey hey, let that flute call
Raise your hands, let the whole world know
Home was in me all along
Drum call, flute cry
Dust rise, we come alive
Drum call, flute cry
My feet remember
