to the heart of the drum!



drums beat! beat! beat!
i hear them vibrate
from my head to my feet

you make them loud
my love
for in my heart
your echoes repeat
with beat! beat! beat!

for it is you my love who keeps my heart beating
beating like the drums from the start

so beat! beat! beat!
heart and drums alike!
beat for her
beat for him
beat until you feel it limb-to-limb

for you my lover i knew it true
that our hearts beat together
two-by-two

so please!
BEAT! BEAT! BEAT!
at home or on the street!
to the heart of drum!
to the heart of the soul!
find love in life
and make it whole
beat. beat. beat.
