All time was left behind I made my way to the basic man assembly Music filled the air and voices sing Snd then the song became alive Stick hit the skin - i hit the stick And we've all been keeping time And all the boys been playing the drums Let's make our way to song and dance - continue And then the song became alive - song and dance I've seen a place - set in time And pillars tall in my sight Then i heard voices sing Sweet in the air [they fell through] Haunting you And then the song became alive - song and dance Ways we've lost come flooding back now Then my ancestors awake (then i forgot myself) And in our joy they take their joy And in their skills we take our skills Then all the lines between are gone Then all the lines between are gone Stick hit the skin - i hit the stick And we've all been keeping time So all you boys keep playing the drums Let's make our way to song and dance - continue And then the song became alive - song and dance Song and dance - let's make our way
