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.
