Oh-ho-oh-ho-oh-ho-oh And when you hear the drum You come back to the roots In every cell There is a story that we tell Are you living well Or are you stuck in hell? Wish I could give you the answer I can only invite you to dance and sing out Will you find the medicine deep inside you And let it ring out? Our ancestors prayed for the day we'd awake And make a new way - hey hey hey I will not contain the depth of my pain The shape of my shame Are you insane? Running from the shots and they're all scared System demanding a repair Turn your violence to violins Put the guns away and pick up the djembe And when you hear the drum you come back to the roots Oh-ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Oh-ho-oh Pick up the drum When you hear the beat sound Then you better come round 'em Every direction gets my attention Seed my intention - no lie! Raising my prayers into the air Gonna get clear before I die Call to the North, Spirit of the Earth Steady my course, direct my Rebirth Call to the South, the Spirit of the Fire Come out my mouth, ignite my Desire Call to the East, Spirit of the Wind I can feel your finger tickle my chin Call to the West, the Spirit of the Water What you provide cannot be bought And when you hear the drum you come back to the roots Oh-ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh Oh-ho-oh Pick up the drum when you hear the beat sound Then you better come round 'em You want the deep roots and the big fruits But do you nourish the soil that feeds you? Do you listen to life, let it breathe you? Or are you up to your knees in the weeds, boo? Everybody obsessed with the next thing So we grind to the bone and it's vexing 20/20 it's empty in hindsight Are we gripping a little too tight? No telling which way we'll go on this day Better make this moment a highlight Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey Hey hey ya hey hey ya hey And when you hear the drum You come back to the roots Pick up the drum When you hear the beat sound Then you better come round 'em
