about

This song definitely shows the influence of my love for North African rai music in the beat and the synth line, with reggae flavor that is all tied together by a funky bass groove.
The lyrics are in chant form, exploring our connection to nature and extolling the virtues of creativity and unity.

lyrics

Flow like the water
Rise like the sun
Shine like the moon
Live in rhythm
Travel like the wind
Strong as the Earth
Glow like the fire on the planet of our birth
Express yourself creativity
Uplift your soul and all humanity
Unity diversity we must be as one
Moving together to the beat of the drum yea
