When hands suffer to beat drums
And parched throats wince as they taste rums
Feet must be whipped when they stay calm
II
As the hands make the sounds
Let the feet do the rounds
Like possessed by the gods who watch
III
Africa is a dancing god
Africans are dancers for the sun and moon
Only fireflies must be ignored
IV
So dance till sorrows turn sweat
Dance, till sickness regrets
Dance till colours speak for themselves
This light is the light from shinning dark
