Verse
Dust on my ankles, drum in my chest
Bare feet on the red clay, I forget the rest
Sun going down but the sky's still gold
Hands in the air now, letting go of the cold
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising, rising through my skin
Something wild waking, calling out within
Higher, higher, watch the embers spin
Chorus
Umlilo wam', burning in the night
Umlilo wam', turning dark to light
Feel it in my blood, feel it in my feet
Umlilo wam', dancing to the beat
Verse
Circle of shadows moving with the sound
Every heartbeat echoes off the ground
Stars start falling into open hands
This is how we worship, this is how we stand
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising, rising through my skin
Something wild waking, calling out within
Higher, higher, watch the embers spin
Chorus
Umlilo wam', burning in the night
Umlilo wam', turning dark to light
Feel it in my blood, feel it in my feet
Umlilo wam', dancing to the beat
Bridge
No more holding, no more chains
Just the drum and the fire in my veins
Let it take me, let it burn it clean
Nothing left but the flame and me
Chorus
Umlilo wam', burning in the night
Umlilo wam', turning dark to light
Feel it in my blood, feel it in my feet
Umlilo wam', dancing to the beat
Outro
Umlilo wam'
Still burning
Umlilo wam'
We rise with the sun
