All time was left behind
I made my way to the basic man assembly
Music filled the air and voices sing
And then the song became alive
Stick hit the skin - I hit the stick
And we've all been keeping time
And all the boys been playing the drums
Let's make our way to song and dance - continue
And then the song became alive - song and dance
I've seen a place - set in time
And pillars tall in my sight
Then I heard voices sing
Sweet in the air [they fell through]
Haunting you
And then the song became alive - song and dance
Ways we've lost come flooding back now
Then my ancestors awake
(then I forgot myself)
And in our joy they take their joy
And in their skills we take our skills
Then all the lines between are gone
Then all the lines between are gone
Stick hit the skin - I hit the stick
And we've all been keeping time
So all you boys keep playing the drums
Let's make our way to song and dance - continue
And then the song became alive - song and dance
Song and dance - let's make our way
