Move Like the Ancestors (version 3)

Intro

syncopated acoustic guitar riff, shaker enters

Verse 1

male vocals, kick drum enters

Drums call, feet answer

Dust rising, hands up

bass enters

Moonlight ancestors, till the lights come up

Moonlight ancestors, till the lights come up

Instrumental Break

acoustic guitar riff continues, full percussion ensemble

Verse 2

Bare feet on the red clay ground

Fire smoke and a heartbeat sound

Can you feel them in the baseline calling us back, calling us back?

Chorus

layered group harmonies

Moonlight ancestors, till the lights come up

Moonlight ancestors, till the lights come up

Verse 3

Circle wide, the drum runs deep

Sweat and starlight, no one sleeps

Bridge

Ancestors, ancestors, we move for you

Ancestors, ancestors, till the sky turns blue

Chorus

Moonlight ancestors, till the lights come up

Moonlight ancestors, till the lights come up

Moonlight ancestors

Moonlight ancestors

Outro

Dust settles and still we raise

Sun comes up on the last day dance

vocal ad-libs

Moonlight ancestors

Moonlight ancestors

Moonlight ancestors

Moonlight ancestors

fade out
