Ancestral Groove

Lyrics

Listen to the rhythm of the drum
Where the ancient spirits come
Where the ancient spirits come
Forget the shadows of the past
We found our own voice at last
They try to tell you how to walk
They try to tell you how to talk
But the rhythm in your feet is free
This is our own identity

Ancestral groove, make you move!
No more chains, nothing to prove!
Let the horn blow, let the fire rise
Look at the future with your own eyes
Ancestral groove, make you move!

Stand up straight and clear your mind
Leave the old colonial ways behind
We don't need no foreign crown
No system gonna hold us down
Play the highlife, play the beat
Feel the dust beneath your feet

Ancestral groove, make you move!
No more chains, nothing to prove!
Let the horn blow, let the fire rise
Look at the future with your own eyes
Ancestral groove, make you move!

Ancestral groove!
Let it move!
