Umlilo Is Calling

Verse

Dust on the ground, the drum in my chest

Bare feet moving, we don't need rest

Smoke on the wind from the fire pit low

Umlilo calling, I feel it grow

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it in the bassline rising

Can you feel it, no compromising

Hands up higher, let the rhythm hold

Till the sky turns amber, till the sky turns gold

Chorus

Umlilo is calling, we move till the light

Umlilo is calling, through the heart of the night

Feet on the embers, hands to the sky

We dance till the morning, we dance till the light

Verse

Skin and the shekere, the shaker in hand

Circle of dancers, we understand

Deep in the low end, the kick like a heart

Umlilo calling from the dark to the start

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it in the bassline rising

Can you feel it, no compromising

Hands up higher, let the rhythm hold

Till the sky turns amber, till the sky turns gold

Chorus

Umlilo is calling, we move till the light

Umlilo is calling, through the heart of the night

Feet on the embers, hands to the sky

We dance till the morning, we dance till the light

Bridge

Not for the crowd, not for the show

Just for the pulse, just for the glow

Sweat on my back, the horizon turns blue

The fire remembers, the fire stays true

Chorus

Umlilo is calling, we move till the light

Umlilo is calling, through the heart of the night

Feet on the embers, hands to the sky

We dance till the morning, we dance till the light

Outro

Umlilo calling

Umlilo calling

We danced till the light
