sounds of blackness - the drum (africa to america) lyrics
in the beginning was the beat
and the beat is the rhythm of god
and the rhythm of god
is the harmony of humanity
and where there is harmony
there is peace
we are the drum
we are the drum
from africa to america
we are the drum
teach!
we are the drum
from the beginning of the mother
we are civilization during the dark ages
we are kings and queens
with lands that stretch from ocean to ocean
as the mighty nile flows south
where eve is called lucy
northward to egypt
where moses went down to the get down
from the south to the north
yeah, movin’ up the right way
we are all that
and across the history
of this vast continent of countries
the drum speaks
we are the drum
we are the drum
from africa to america
we are the drum
uh, on one
uh, on the drum
uh, on the one
come on come on come on!
we are the drum
taken from the mother in shackles
beat down in the new babylon
called america
where chaos, confusion and hatred reign supreme
but the rhythm
the rhythm plants the seeds of freedom
so we overcome with the rhythm
the drum speaks
the rhythm is my heart and my freedom
will you give up your rhythm?
no!
the rhythm is my heart and my freedom
will you let go of the beat?
no!
the rhythm is my heart and my freedom?
come on, selling your soul?!
no!
the rhythm is my heart and my freedom
can ya stop playing your drum?
no!
no!
we are the drum
in the beginning was the beat of the drum
which began in the beginning to beat freedom
oh freedom!
oh freedom
oh freedom
oh freedom
oh freedom
(faze out)
