Echoes of the Savannah

[Verse 1] Dust rises Footprints trace the past Under baobabs Shadows are cast Bongo drums in the twilight’s hush Wild cries cut through the evening rush [Verse 2] Lions whisper 'cross the endless plain Elders’ stories fall like summer rain Mbira fingers dance Sweet reprise Moonlight reflects in children's eyes [Chorus] Oh The echoes They remember Long night tales by the ember Grains of sand They understand Ancient wisdom of this land [Verse 3] A call to spirits in the wind's song Voices of the heart Forever strong Calabash rattles with every beat Barefoot steps on the earthen street [Verse 4] Savannah sighs with a gentle breath Cycle of life from birth to death Harmony in the land so wide Where sky and earth in love collide [Chorus] Oh The echoes They remember Long night tales by the ember Grains of sand They understand Ancient wisdom of this land
