Drum

verse 1:
 celtic drum sings, yoruba drum dances
 the pulse takes us all and becomes our heartbeat
 we are all the same heart and all the same drum
 cross culture, whether or not you accept
 our drum is the same
 our heartbeat, our blood
 the color of our bones when we dance
 in bones alone
 aborigine dust, irish rain
 saudi prayer, navajo truth
 druid sight
 pulled into me
 pulled into you/the truth
 refrain:
 pulled into our drum
 which is the same
 and ever shall be.
 nomatter what you say to me.
 nomatter if your heart be free.
 we share a common/the mother's heartbeat
 we share a common drum
 verse 2:
 christian heart may fail
 pagan song may rise
 hearts and minds stretched open wide
 at the turning of the tide
 here at the century's painful dawn
 we find we still are drumming
 but our guns are drawn.
 sensibility has failed
 and yet the drum is still resounding
 time is not yet done
 there is room to turn it back around, children, but
 we may find we have to hurry, may find we have to run.
 we are all the same heart
 and all the same drum
 in spite of the sickness
 we have become.
 (refrain)
