Lyrics
Description
(Verse 1)
Dust at dawn, bare feet on cool river stones,
Palms lift slow where the sunrise folds.
Talking drum calls — a neighbor answers back,
Soft kora plucks, weaving light across the track.
We bring our breath, we bring our story here,
Lantern smoke, woven prayers, an ancestor near.
Leader: "Come close, feel the circle's hold."
Choir (soft): "Asante Mungu" — gratitude in gold.
(Pre-Chorus)
Low sub-bass hum under the djembe's hush,
Hushed ad-libs ripple, then the rhythm trusts.
A gentle polyrhythm, West African swing,
Every small moment folds into one big thing.
(Chorus) — Strong, chantable, repeatable hook
Drum, carry me home — (Drum, carry me)
Drum, carry me home — (We rise) x2
Leader: "Drum of God, we rise"
Choir: "Asante Mungu, we rise"
(Short call-and-response ad-libs between lines: "Hallelu / Asante")
(Verse 2)
Clay on our fingers, incense on the breeze,
Grandmothers hum the lines of old memories.
Talking drum mirrors the pattern of our feet,
Polyrhythms answer where heart and worship meet.
Kora strings like river light across the dawn,
Children echo verses, voices stretched and drawn.
Leader: "Lift your names, let them sail tonight."
Choir (warm): "We lift them up, we hold them to the light."
(Pre-Chorus)
Djembe with brushes, a syncopated tide,
Breath between the notes — the choir opens wide.
Short ad-libs fold into the steady beat,
We move as one body, soft and bittersweet.
(Chorus) — Repeatable chant
Drum, carry me home — (Drum, carry me)
Drum, carry me home — (We rise) x2
Leader: "Drum of God, we rise"
Choir: "Asante Mungu, we rise"
(Ad-libs: "Hallelu / Asante / Hallelu")
(Bridge) — Build to vocal lift with stacked harmonies
Leader (thin to full): "When the night is wide and heavy, your rhythm holds our hands."
Choir (edge into harmony): "Your rhythm holds our hands."
Leader: "From the dust at dawn to the stars on high, your song will land."
Choir (stacked, lush): "Your song will land — Ohhh"
Call-and-response tag:
Leader: "Oluwa?" (or pause for breath)
Choir: "We say Asante Mungu."
(Climax Chorus) — Full choir, stacked harmonies
Drum, carry me home — (Drum, carry me)
Drum, carry me home — (We rise) x4
Leader: "Drum of God, lift us higher"
Choir: "Asante Mungu, lift us higher"
(Short vocal runs, choir swells, kora arpeggio bright)
(Final Chorus — pared down, intimate)
(Only kora and soft brushes on djembe)
Drum, carry me home — (Whisper: Drum, carry me)
Drum, carry me home — (We rise) x2
Choir (soft, close): "Asante Mungu."
(Outro)
One last talking drum call, a simple answer hums,
Dust at dawn, palms lowered, the worship becomes.
Kora fades like river light at the end of day,
We walk slowly, drum in heart, carrying praise.
--- PRODUCTION NOTES ---
Arrangement: Slow-jam tempo ~65–75 BPM. Base pocket: soft djembe with brushes, subtle sub-bass pad to add warmth and presence, and gentle kora plucks for melodic texture. Layer a talking drum for call-and-response fills and a light shaker for subdivision.
Rhythmic Feel: West-Gu
