Verse 1
Down by the shoreline, the fire’s light,
Drummers gather as day turns to night,
Hands on the skin, rhythm so true,
Calling the spirits, calling me and you.
Then came a whisper, soft through the trees,
Gentle and quiet, the island breeze,
Lifting the sound, carrying high,
Sending the music into the sky.
Chorus
Drumbeat and breeze, moving as one,
Sound of the island, moon and sun,
Heart of the people, soul of the seas,
Dancing forever — drumbeat and breeze.
Verse 2
Breeze said, “Brother, I’ll carry your song,
Over the mountain, all night long,
Every note, I’ll make it fly,
Over the ocean, across the sky.”
Drumbeat answered, “You give me wings,
I’ll keep the time while the island sings,
Every hand, every heart,
Together we’re the island’s spark.”
Chorus
Drumbeat and breeze, moving as one,
Sound of the island, moon and sun,
Heart of the people, soul of the seas,
Dancing forever — drumbeat and breeze.
Bridge
Children laughing, dancers spin,
Fishermen smile as the boats come in,
The breeze lifts high, the drum pounds low,
Together they make the island glow.
Verse 3
So if you listen in the midnight air,
You’ll hear the rhythm living there,
The earth, the wind, the human hand,
A song that belongs to this land.
Final Chorus (softer, then rising big)
Drumbeat and breeze, moving as one,
Sound of the island, moon and sun,
Heart of the people, soul of the seas,
Dancing forever — drumbeat and breeze.
Outro (chant style, fading)
“Breeze carry rhythm, rhythm carry soul,
Together we are music, together we are whole…”
