Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Stone on my shoulder Mud on my boots Old road winding Through roots and ruins Smoke from the hillside Names in the rain Hear them behind me Calling again [Chorus] I am the drum of the earth I am the cry of the steel and the string Voices of a thousand births Rise in my chest when I sing (ohh) Feet on the ground like thunder Hands to the sky I remember who I am I am the drum of the earth Beating the blood of the land [Verse 2] Salt on my language Ash on my tongue Ghosts of my fathers Walk where I run Fire in the circle Dark turning gold One breath Many bodies One story told [Chorus] I am the drum of the earth I am the cry of the steel and the string Voices of a thousand births Rise in my chest when I sing (hey!) Feet on the ground like thunder Hands to the sky I remember who I am I am the drum of the earth Beating the blood of the land [Bridge] Call and answer Low then higher Bare feet Red dust Round that fire Name your sorrow Name your pride Stamp that grief Into the night [Chorus] I am the drum of the earth I am the cry of the steel and the string Voices of a thousand births Rise in my chest when I sing (ohh yeah) Feet on the ground like thunder Hands to the sky I remember who I am I am the drum of the earth Beating the blood of the land

Verses stay intimate with hand drums and sparse string plucks; African-inspired percussion layers and vocal chants build into a huge, anthemic chorus with stacked harmonies and pounding frame drums. Final chorus hits hard then drops to a raw, unaccompanied vocal tag., celtic, violin, low, deep, tone
