Kings Of Convenience - The Beat of a Drum lyrics

Is it the beat of a drum or is it wisdom That makes our souls dance When my heart stops, is it like winter Or was this my only chance To get to know all the people I should get to know To smell the flowers in the young girls hair To get to know all the people I should get to know Overcoming all this fear Is it the far away sun, or imagination, that makes me think of home Is it the speed of light, or is it stillness, that makes change come about And lets me know all the people I should get to know
