Lush Anansi Tales

Dance to your beat!

It's a beat,
the tempo doesn't matter really,
the beat sings to the soul,
sets the heart afire.

Boom!

Music is our first tongue,
and your body knows the language,
because we learn,
the song under our mother's heart,
her rhythm nurturing our souls,

Listen!

The body follows,
the dance doesn't really matter,
trust the song,
the ancestors will guide your feet
they know the way.

Move!

Let your life's music bring you peace,
reconnect with the essence of you,
your primal purpose,
close your eyes,
feel the boom of your heart,
listen to the rhythm of your soul,
move your feet with purpose.

Dance!
