For Odaiko New England
Todd Lee
November 9, 2007
Boom da-da BOOM!
Boom da-da BOOM!
Boom da-da boom da-da
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Rumble of thunder
pulling you under,
over and over and over again.
Boom da-da BOOM!
Boom da-da BOOM!
Sway, yeah, sway
Pray, yeah, pray
Boom da-da BOOM!
Sticks point to the sky!
Boom da-da BOOM!
We all want to fly!
Boom da-da BOOM!
click, click, click
Boom-da-da BOOM!
click, click, click
Dance like Pinoys
hopping over sticks.
Boom da-da BOOM
Breathe all as one
Boom da-da BOOM!
Shine like the sun!
Boom da-da BOOM!
Boom da-da BOOM!
Boom da-da Boom dada
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Our rhythm
is not just
the clicking of QWERTY keyboards.
Our rhythm:
has history.
In our arms; our feet; our songs.
Our heart-
beats.
We were drummers once,
before we forgot.
Drum on.
