Thump thump

Thump thump

Steady as the beating drum

Thump thump

Thump thump

Generous as the rising sun

Thump thump

Thump thump

A final gift unknowingly given

Thump thump

Thump thump

Heard again in a different chest

Thump thump

Thump thump

Your heart beats on now you’re at rest

Thump thump

Thump thump
