Drum & a Chair (Song)

I left my mind Under african skies I never felt so alive I crossed the sea I fell on the land And we danced in the sand Drum & a chair Woven rug and no door The wood and dirt floor Voices like prayer Went straight to my heart A full moon lit the dark I feel your pulse Sister and brother My father My mother A woman, a spade A plot and some seeds How many mouths she will feed? Rice on a leaf The whole village is there With sweet mangos to share Drum & a chair A circle a song Yes, we all belong! Voices of prayer Went straight to my heart And a fire lit the dark I feel your pulse Sister and brother My father My mother I feel your pulse Sister and brother My father My mother I left my mind Under african skies I never felt so alive I crossed the sea I fell on the land And we danced in the sand Drum & a chair Woven rug and no door The wood and dirt floor Voices like prayer Went straight to my heart A full moon lit the dark I feel your pulse Sister and brother My father My mother I feel your pulse Sister and brother My father My mother I feel your pulse Sister and brother My father My mother I feel your pulse Sister and brother My father My mother
