Where The Horses Run(A song about Sumba)

Yeah

This one’s for the land that breathes in rhythm

For the sun, the drum, the open plain

Morning breaks on a golden hill

Grass waves slow, yeah the world stands still

Barefoot stories in the rising sun

This is where the horses run

Stone and bone hold the days gone by

Names in the earth, they never die

Every road knows where it’s from

This is where the horses run

[Pre-Chorus)

No walls, no crown, no loaded gun

Just sky above everyone

Where the horses run, and the spirits move free

Where the drum keeps time for you and me

No rush, no race, no need to pretend

Just roots in the ground, yeah, again and again

Where the horses run, let the bassline roll

Ancient fire in a reggae soul

If you’re lost, hear the land say “come”

This is where… the horses run

Ocean hums by the coral shore

Moonlight knocks on a wooden door

Laughter flickers in firelight tongues

This is where the night feels young

Different skin, but the heartbeat’s one

From the oldest drum to the rising sun

Take a breath, yeah, feel it come

This is where the horses run

Hands to the sky, feet to the land

Life makes sense when you understand

(Lead) Where the horses run

(Crowd) Where the horses run!

(Lead) Where the spirit’s strong

(Crowd) Where the spirit’s strong!

Where the horses run, and the rhythm stays

From the past right into today

Hold it close, don’t let it numb

This is where… the horses run

Respect the soil, respect the flame

Not everything’s a price or name

What we sing, we sing as one

Under the sun… where the horses run

(chant softly)

Sumba… Sumba…

Where the horses run, let the people sway

Let your worries fall away

If you hear the call, don’t turn and run

Follow the beat… to where the horses run

When the lights go down, and the stage goes numb

The land remains…

Where the horses run
