Turkana Girl

[Verse 1]
Barefoot she dances on the edge of the sun
Her shadow stretches but she don’t run
Dust in the air like a story untold
Her laughter
It’s brighter than rivers of gold
[Prechorus]
She hums with the wind
She sways with the sky
Turkana girl
She never asks why
[Chorus]
Turkana girl
You light the fire
You carry the dreams
You lift them higher
Turkana girl
The world’s your drum
Beat it loud
Don’t you ever succumb
[Verse 2]
The moon is her lantern
It follows her feet
Her path is a mystery
A rhythm
A beat
The stars are her map
They whisper her name
Turkana girl
You’ll never be tamed
[Bridge]
Oh the earth is singing
It’s calling her home
Through the valleys
The hills
Where the wild things roam
She’s the heartbeat of a place we don’t know
Turkana girl
Where the warm winds blow
[Chorus]
Turkana girl
You light the fire
You carry the dreams
You lift them higher
Turkana girl
The world’s your drum
Beat it loud
Don’t you ever succumb
