The Message (CF's NYC Message Mix)

They were drums all night long

And everybody danced
They were drums

As they danced in a circle
You could see the sweat dripping from their bodies
Combined with tears of joy
For they knew that through the dance
Their strength would be enhanced
And enlightened with the power to make it through the journey
Onwards and upwards

Deep in their hearts they knew
That brighter days were on the horizon
Although at times it seems as though no one can hear them
But little did they know their melodies traveled
And were recognized by a higher power
And in numbers they sang the melodies
As they danced in a ritual fashion
And they did it for freedom
Music was like fuel to the fire
And the chant was spread like flames

They were drums all night
They were drums all night long

"Ina e, Ina e"
Sang the poor people in the villages
With much faith, love and hope
They were drums all night long
And everybody danced

They had offerings of magic and also fetishes
So that evil would stay far away
They did it for protection of life
From the zombies and the idiots
And happiness was felt in the villages
For this was the place where love had to live
So gracefully they went on their way
Accompanied by the sounds of music
And the enchanted rhythms of the universe

They were drums all night
They were drums
They were drums
They were drums all night
