Lyrics Hear Me Beat My Drum - Dawud Wharnsby

The rhythm of your breathing is so soft,
As you lay up in your beds so sweetly dreaming.
Through your windows,
Smells of bread and sounds of drumming drift and waft,
To fill your nose and ear, and tell you that the dawn is near.
Wrapped up like baked pastries in your sheets,
I know you′re tucked away so warm and cozy.
There's tea, and dates and sweets, a suhur party in the streets,
So get up out of bed! Come and greet the day ahead!
Hear me beat my drum, as down your street I come.
The moon is falling, I am calling,
To wake you for the day that′s on her way.
Get yourselves out of bed,
Before the night is gone, to welcome a new day of Ramadan.
Our busy little lives can make us crazy,
And it's so easy to get stuck in a routine.
Doing everything the same way everyday can make us lazy,
So let's take control today, live our lives in a new way.
Hear me beat my drum, as down your street I come.
The moon is falling, I am calling,
To wake you for the day that′s on her way.
Get yourselves out of bed,
Before the night is gone, to welcome a new day of Ramadan.
So wake up!
Stop you′re dreaming.
Let us wake the neighbourhood,
To share in all that's good, the pots of full are steaming,
Let′s break our dull routine, let all the world join in the scene.
Hear me beat my drum, as down your street I come.
The moon is falling, I am calling,
To wake you for the day that's on her way. Get yourselves out of bed,
Before the night is gone,
Hear me beat my drum, as down your street I come.
The moon is falling, I am calling,
To wake you for the day that′s on her way. Get yourselves out of bed,
Before the night is gone,
To welcome a new day of Ramadan
To welcome a new day of Ramadan
To welcome a new day of Ramadan
