Where The Drums Remember – Vuka Tribe

Verse

Bare feet on the concrete, dust turns to gold

Last bass in my chest still an echo of old

Ash on the speaker stack, smoke in the trees

Someone left their shoes by the roots, by the breeze

Torches burn low now, embers still red

Circle of shadows where the dancers were led

Skin still humming from a hundred hands

The gate to the morning wide open, it stands

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the floor

Feel it calling us to more

Sky is breaking, thin and blue

Drums remember what we do

Chorus

This is where the drums remember

Every step from night to ember

Sun comes up and finds us here

Where the drums remember

Verse

Palm leaves shiver, the horizon ignites

Bodies still swaying from the echoes of night

River runs gold now, catching the light

Voices go soft where the shouting was tight

Someone starts humming the very first sound

The one that woke the fire, the one that spun round

Feet find the pattern the ground never lost

Every heartbeat is the same one it was

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the floor

Feel it calling us to more

Sky is breaking, thin and blue

Drums remember what we do

Chorus

This is where the drums remember

Every step from night to ember

Sun comes up and finds us here

Where the drums remember

Bridge

Hands to the sky now, hold the light

We are the echo, we are the rite

Nothing is over, it just turns to gold

This is the story the rhythm still holds

Chorus

This is where the drums remember

Every step from night to ember

Sun comes up and finds us here

Where the drums remember

Outro

Sun on the water, the circle stays whole

Where the drums remember, we remember
