Lyrics
Red against the golden grass
The warriors jump straight toward the sun
Each landing shakes the dust awake
The earth responds to every one
Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land
Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land
Where warriors land
Where warriors land
The pearl beads click with every rise
Red ochre dust clouds at their feet
No drum is needed for this dance
The body is the only beat
Straight up and straight down the simplest dance on earth
But when twenty warriors jump as one the ground remembers it was born from fire
Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land
Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land
Where warriors land
Where warriors land
The higher that the warrior jumps
The closer that his head meets sky
The deeper that his feet return
The more the earth begins to cry
They land together as a word
That has no translation in your tongue
The sound of twenty bodies falling
Back to earth where they belong
