[female
vocals] (
Soft
percussion,
rhythmic
steady
pulse)
Oh,
hear
the
calling
of
the
ancient
wind
Gather
round,
let
the
spirit
begin (
Spiritual
humming,
layered
harmonies)
The
sweep
of
heaven
clears
the
dusty
floor
A
cleansing
rain
falling
at
the
door
Water
flowed
and
the
sleepers
rose
to
stand
A
new
light
breaking
across
the
land
The
bells
rang
out,
the
year
was
two-thousand-eight
Breaking
the
clay,
opening
up
the
gate
We
remember
the
signs,
we
remember
the
way
Guided
by
the
light
of
a
brand
new
day
Oh,
listen
now,
sons
of
the
lineage
bright
Walking
in
the
truth,
holding
on
to
the
light
From
Mzilankatha,
the
strength
we
derive
Keeping
the
promise
and
the
spirit
alive
Oh,
listen
now,
children
of
the
name
Burning
forever,
the
eternal
flame
Then
came
the
time,
two-thousand-twelve
arrived
The
heavy
gate
opened,
the
ancestors
revived
We
call
the
clans,
the
ones
who
know
the
path
Rising
above
the
storm
and
the
aftermath
You
of
the
Gabadeli,
step
with
your
pride
With
the
wisdom
of
ages
moving
inside
We
trace
the
steps
of
those
who
came
before
Walking
together
through
the
open
door
Oh,
listen
now,
sons
of
the
lineage
bright
Walking
in
the
truth,
holding
on
to
the
light
From
Mzilankatha,
the
strength
we
derive
Keeping
the
promise
and
the
spirit
alive
Oh,
listen
now,
children
of
the
name
Burning
forever,
the
eternal
flame
It
is
written
in
the
blood,
in
the
song,
in
the
soul
Making
us
steady,
making
us
whole
Ncube,
the
keepers
of
the
deep
decree
Bringing
the
message
for
the
world
to
see (
Soulful
vocal
ad-libs)
Oh,
listen
now,
sons
of
the
lineage
bright
Walking
in
the
truth,
holding
on
to
the
light
From
Mzilankatha,
the
strength
we
derive
Keeping
the
promise
and
the
spirit
alive
Oh,
listen
now,
children
of
the
name
Burning
forever,
the
eternal
flame
We
are
the
ones,
the
legacy
stays
Guiding
our
feet
through
all
of
our
days
Listen
to
the
bells,
listen
to
the
call
Standing
together,
standing
tall (
Fade
out
with
gentle
spiritual
drumming)
