[Intro – Deep male spoken vocals, warm & tribal over shakers + subtle rising tension]
Feel the spirit… let it move you…
[Verse 1 – Rich deep male lead vocal, grounded & rhythmic]
Sun on my skin, earth beneath my feet
Ancestors whispering in the pulsing beat
Barefoot on the ground, heart open wide
Let the rhythm take me on this sacred ride
[Pre-Chorus – Layered male vocals building with hand claps & percussion + EDM riser]
No more chains, no more walls around
Feel the fire rising from the sacred ground
[Chorus – Powerful stacked male vocals with rich harmonies, anthemic & infectious]
We dance to the spirit of the drum tonight
Afro bass shaking under festival lights
Bodies moving like the river flow
Hearts connected, let the whole world know
Oh mama, oh papa, hear our song
In this rhythm we all belong
Unleash the fire, break the silence loud
Spirit of the drum — take me higher now!
[Drop Section – Massive festival EDM drop]
(Supersaw leads + heavy kick + tribal percussion layered)
Drum! Drum! Spirit rising!
Higher! Higher! Never dying!
[Verse 2 – Energetic male lead with background tribal chants]
Golden dust rising as we stomp the floor
Ancient energy meets the modern roar
No beginning, no end, just the endless groove
Power surging in this sacred truth
[Bridge – Soulful emotional male lead, stripped to congas + pads, then huge build]
I was lost but the drum brought me home
Now the bass is roaring like a lion’s throne
We rise… we rise…
[Final Chorus / Big Drop – Explosive stacked male choir + tribal chants + massive festival drop]
We dance to the spirit of the drum tonight
Afro fire burning under festival lights
Bodies moving like the river flow
Hearts connected, watch the whole world glow
Oh mama, oh papa, feel this power strong
In this rhythm we all belong
Unleash the fire, shake the heavens loud
Spirit of the drum — we own this crowd!
[Outro – Call-and-response male vocals + fading supersaws & tribal percussion]
Spirit of the drum… (drum… drum…)
We are one… rising higher…
Forever… forever…
