Heart to the Drum

I came here carrying the whole long day A thousand thoughts that wouldn't go away Then the drums came rolling with the breeze Palm leaves started dancing in the trees Bare feet sinking gently in the sand My heartbeat answers like it understands Every step lets one more worry leave The music makes a little room to breathe Heart to the drum, feet in the sand Yalla, come close, take my hand Let the rhythm set your spirit free One beat, one family Across the sand, my lover catches my eye One step together, no need to ask why Husbands, wives, and lovers all in time Two hearts dancing on the same bassline Grandma spins and Grandpa laughs Like the years have all gone past Kids and cousins shout, "Watch this! Watch me!" Little feet moving wild and free longer Heart to the drum, feet in the sand Under the stars, hand in hand Let the music make our hearts feel free One beat, one Thank You, God, for our health today For the hands that lift us along the way When life gets heavy and the road feels long Give us the strength to carry on Every hard season teaches us to rise With more love shining in our eyes So hold this moment, hold it tight We have each other here tonight. Stars above and sand below Hold the love and let it grow Our hearts keep dancing, you and me One beat... one family.
