The Heart of This Drum

When the heart beats like a drum,
The sun surrenders, the soul
We call out your name, Sweet Africa
We send rhythms into the wind
We dance like rivers, into the Nile
We rumble like thunder
Drumbeats awaken our spirits
Let the heart of this drum, brings us 
Back home to the soul of Mother Africa
