Dance for Turtle Island

A slip in time… Who’s that rising?

Dance to the heart beat drum,

Dance to the heart beat drum

Oh ancient ones among us, 

We turn and face the sun

Dance to the heart beat drum

Dance to the heart beat drum

See the signs all around you,

Of the fall that brings us home.

Dance to the heart beat drum

Dance to the heart beat drum

Oh watch Turtle Island,

As it rises from its fall,

Touch the sacred, hear the heart beat,

What was lost returns to call.

So Rise Turtle Island,

The appointed time has come…

Dance to the heart beat drum

Dance to the heart beat drum

The ancients live among us,

Sing the songs and touch the drum.

So rise Turtle Island, 

Lift your hearts oh weary ones.

Dance Turtle Island…

You no longer fight alone.

Dance.

Yeah Dance.

Dance to the heartbeat drum.

Dance, yeah dance… to the heartbeat drum.
