Dancer to the Drum
Dancer to the Drum: Unveiling Life's Rhythmic Journey
Lyrics
Fast asleep in the dawn of ages
Beginning of time, a state of deep slumber in ancient history
The soul of every child
The essence or spirit of every young person
Has waited to be born a stranger
Awaiting the experience of being born as a stranger
Underneath the drum of his mothers heart
Beneath the rhythmic heartbeat of their mother
Lying deep in a dream of darkness
In a profound dream, untouched by fear
Where fear has never gone
Where fear has never existed
Each spark of a life is started
Each new life begins with a spark of innocence
Blind and pure to the world we come
Arriving in the world with a pure, unblemished perception
Blind and pure to the world we come
Reiteration of the pure and blind arrival to the world
Each of us a dancer to the drum
Each individual is inherently a participant in life's rhythms
Each of us a dancer to the drum
Emphasizing the innate connection to life's beat
Blind and pure we come
Reiterating the idea of pure and blind arrival
One is born into a life of hunger
Life involves facing various forms of hunger or desire
One will be a king or a rich man's son
Some will have privileged lives as kings or wealthy heirs
One will kill out of greed or anger
Others may resort to violence driven by greed or anger
One will give his life for another one
Highlighting sacrifice for the well-being of another
There are smiles in the lies of innocence
Deception is sometimes masked by innocent smiles
There are blooms in the walls of stone
Beauty can be found even in seemingly unyielding circumstances
And we will see ourselves
Self-reflection through the eyes of everyone we've known
In the eyes of everyone we have ever known
Our experiences are mirrored in the eyes of others
Everyone we have ever known
Reiteration of the mirroring effect with everyone known
And the heart, the heart will ever be a witness
The heart serves as an eternal observer and recorder
And precious time, no treasure is worth
Time is a precious resource, not worth sacrificing for material gain
And the child, the child will carry our existence
Children carry the legacy of our existence
Through the days that we have on earth
Throughout the limited time we have on Earth
Each of us a dancer to the drum
Reiteration of being participants in life's rhythms
Each of us a dancer to the drum
Emphasizing the innate connection to life's beat once more
Blind and pure we come
Reiterating the idea of pure and blind arrival
Fast asleep in the dawn of ages
Returning to the imagery of deep slumber in ancient times
The soul of every child
Reiterating the essence or spirit of every young person
Has waited to be born a stranger
Repeating the concept of being born as a stranger
Underneath the drum of his mothers heart
Underlining the connection to the maternal heartbeat
