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.
