It's when I break free
That I set fire to the sky
With sunset kindling
And a flint in my throat
To give it a spark
Against the heated steel horizon.
.
We break the glass silence
With hoots and hollers
Banging our leg drums
Against the blunt night, louder.
Thump-thump-thump-thud
As we stomp and jump
Hot coals from hot wood.
Our dancing attracts attention
From wildlife, beckoned by
Our primal state when I sing
My songs always at night.
This is freedom found,
Glory be to our growls and belches.
That I set fire to the sky
With sunset kindling
And a flint in my throat
To give it a spark
Against the heated steel horizon.
.
We break the glass silence
With hoots and hollers
Banging our leg drums
Against the blunt night, louder.
Thump-thump-thump-thud
As we stomp and jump
Hot coals from hot wood.
Our dancing attracts attention
From wildlife, beckoned by
Our primal state when I sing
My songs always at night.
This is freedom found,
Glory be to our growls and belches.
