Lyrics
Verse 1:
Down by the levee where the weeping willows cry,
Muddy waters reflect the fire in the sky.
My feet carry rhythms, of ancient, sacred drums,
Dancing through the shadows, where the night time hums.
Pre-Chorus:
Smoke rises up to the beat of your heart,
Tangled in the roots where the music starts.
The heat’s in your spirit, the song in your chest,
Burning through the twilight, putting peace to the test.
Chorus:
Burning soul, with the flames so high,
We're dancing 'neath the starlit sky.
Rise like the river when the rains pour down,
Burning soul, gonna paint this town.
We're dancing 'neath the starlit sky.
Rise like the river when the rains pour down,
Burning soul, gonna paint this town.
Verse 2:
Strumming on the corner under Crescent City lights,
Reggae beats meet jazz in the heat of the night.
Brass bands echo, down the Frenchmen street,
Where every footstep carries a new heartbeat.
Pre-Chorus:
Feel the city breathe in the sultry air,
Laissez les bons temps rouler, without a care.
Your spirit's ablaze, in this cultural meld,
New Orleans, the stage, the world beheld.
Chorus:
Burning soul, with the flames so high,
We're dancing 'neath the starlit sky.
Rise like the river when the rains pour down,
Burning soul, gonna paint this town.
Bridge:
From the bayou to the bar,
Every note forms who we are.
Let the music set you free,
Swaying palms and live oak tree.
Chorus:
Burning soul, with the flames so high,
We're dancing 'neath the starlit sky.
Rise like the river when the rains pour down,
Burning soul, gonna paint this town.
Outro:
In the glow of ember tunes,
Carry the night till the morning blooms.
Burning soul, keep the fire bright,
Rock and reggae, through the night.
