Lyrics

Hey!

Don't watch the mask.

Watch the feet.

The drum is calling.

Joy is still alive.

Step in the dust.

Rise with us.

Golden sun on the village ground.

Talking drums make a holy sound.

One knows mask, one feels a smile.

Feet start flying mile by mile.

Years behind, let's light ahead.

Every heartbeat wakes the day.

Not to mourn, not to cry,

but to lift our spirits high.

If your hands feel slow,

clap them anyway.

If your feet need time,

let the rhythm lead the way.

Let the drum remember every step,

every step.

Let the joy remember every face,

every face.

Step by step,

heart to heart,

we will never fall apart.

Round and round,

side by side,

feel the bass come alive.

The drum remembers every step.

Raise your moves like flames in air.

Golden dust is everywhere.

Masks stand still,

but the feet fly fast.

Like tomorrow dancing with the past.

All hands clapping,

children sing,

strange bright shadows swarming.

No one here must prove a thing

when the drum gives everything.

If your soul says yes,

stand up today.

If your heart still hears,

let the rhythm lead the way.

Yeah!

Let the drum remember every step.

Let the joy remember every face.

Step by step,

heart to heart,

we were never falling apart.

Round and round,

side by side,

feel the rage come alive.

The drum remembers every step.

One drum,

one light,

one circle in the night.

One smile,

one chance,

we are still here to dance.

Let the drum remember every step.

Let the joy remember every face.

Step by step,

heart to heart,

love was here before the start.

Round and round,

side by side,

feel the rhythm come alive.

The drum remembers.

The light remembers.

Our heart remembers every step.

Hey!

Hey!

Step in the dust.

Hey!

The drum remembers every step.
