"The soul of the Earth is the beating of the drum.
The soul of the drum is the beating of my heart"

When the Drummers Were Women

When the Drummers were Women
Did I not see you there?
Where Women drummed for Joy,
And sang their Songs
Well into the moonless Night,
Did I not hear your Voice?
Will you Drum again?
Will you bring back the Songs of Women,
Of Heart and Mother Earth,
Sing out loud
Sing again,
Drum Forever.
