My Heart is a Drum, Your Heart is a Drum, Our Heart is a Drum, Mama's Heart is a Drum

When we beat upon the drum our hearts become as one,
with the moon and forest, ocean and the Sun.
To the beat move your feet shake your body, have some fun,
come Now and Dance for your Heart is a Drum

Oh my Love, Oh my Love,
Oh my Love, My Heart is a Drum

Got to let it go, just so you know
you're alive again, come alive again.
Live today as if the last day,
Come alive again. Come alive my friend, cause.

Oh my Love, Oh my Love,
Oh my Love, My Heart is a Drum

In the Earth spread your toes, where your rooted love it grows,
a beautiful flower upon the vine.
Feel your heart beat feel the rhythm inside.
Feel your heart beat lovin' rhythm inside.

Feel your heart beat lovin' rhythm inside.
Lovin' Rhythm inside, Lovin' rhythm inside, cause:

Oh my Love, Oh my Love,
Oh my Love, Your Heart is a Drum
