Drummer in the Night

THE DRUM SONG

Drummer, drummer
In the nite
Sounds of passion
Sounds of might.

Songs of love and
Songs of war
Telling stories
Spreading lore.

Throbbing softly
Crying out
Call us
To come about.

Moving, swaying
With the drum
Riffs to let
Awakening come.

Time unbends
Its rigid form
Mindless joy
Becomes the norm.

Heart of music
Rhythm of love
Drums of earth
Gift from above.

Blend the tempos
Of us all
Help us answer
Futures call.

(Chorus)
Drummer, drummer
In the nite
Make it happen
Make it right.
