The Beat Of A Drum Lyrics

Is it the beat of a drum or is it wisdom
that makes our souls dance
when my heart stops, is it like winter
or was this my only chance

to get to know all the people I should get to know
to smell the flowers in the young girls hair
to get to know all the people I should get to know
overcoming all this fear

is it the far away sun, or imagination, that makes me think of home
is it the speed of light, or is it stillness, that makes change come about
and lets me know all the people I should get to know
