There's a drum in my heart
And it beats, and it beats
To the sound of the African tune
There's a voice in my head
And it sings, and it sings
A song in the African mood
Love is a passion, pride is a creed
In this wide open space
Who knows what you'll need
Be strong, you'll survive
If you dare to make haste
To have power at your side
Come acquire the taste
There's a drum in my heart
And it beats, and it beats
To the sound of the African tune
There's a voice in my head
And it sings, and it sings
A song in the African mood
The moon is pale white
The sun liquid fire
Burning the earth
With the flame of desire
In a world that's gone mad
With wars and regrets
The bright stars will die
And the sun will not set
There's a drum in my heart
And it beats, and it beats
To the sound of the African tune
There's a voice in my head
And it sings, and it sings
A song in the African mood
When you seem to be lost
Just have faith and you'll see
There'll be someone to save you
To help make you free
Oh yes, there's a drive
A love of this land
I believe in the cause
Will you just take my hand?
There's a drum in my heart
And it beats
