Move Like the Ancestors – Thando Skies

Verse

Dust on the floor where the bass used to be

Gold in the sky, coming up through the trees

Bare feet still moving, we never sat down

Drums in my chest like the heartbeat of town

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising, feel it in your spine

The ones who came before us, dancing out of time

Hold on to the rhythm, hold on to the light

Chorus

We move like the ancestors, hands up to the sun

Feet down on the red clay, we are not done

Sunrise on the skyline, sweat and gold combine

We move like the ancestors, one more time

Verse

Circle getting wider as the night lets go

Shadows turn to color, watch the fire grow low

Someone start the chanting, someone lead the way

Six a.m. is calling but we chase the day

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising, feel it in your spine

The ones who came before us, dancing out of time

Hold on to the rhythm, hold on to the light

Chorus

We move like the ancestors, hands up to the sun

Feet down on the red clay, we are not done

Sunrise on the skyline, sweat and gold combine

We move like the ancestors, one more time

Bridge

Elders in the wind, they whisper low

Every step we take is a step they used to know

This ground remembers, this ground remembers

The fire never leaves, it just changes embers

Chorus

We move like the ancestors, hands up to the sun

Feet down on the red clay, we are not done

Sunrise on the skyline, sweat and gold combine

We move like the ancestors, one more time

Outro

One more time, one more time

Sun is up, we carry the line

One more time, one more time

Move like the ancestors, we carry the line
