Drums on the Mountaintop

I hear the drums on the mountaintop
Please don't let them stop
My spirit follows the sound of the drums
My body is starting to hum
My friends are calling from the mountaintop
Please don't let them stop
The fox guides me through the forest trees
Drums beat louder with glee.

I hear the drums on the mountaintop
Please don't let them stop
Beating louder, stronger and clear
I am very near
Songs echo through the canyons deep
Into my soul they seep
I reach the circle gathered round the fire
My voice joins in the choir

The sky is beating the earth with rain
The drums forever reign
The rain pounds the earth below
The rivers are in rapid flow
Thunder and lightning rule the skies
Dry earth no longer cries
We are beating drums on the mountaintop
We're not going to stop.
