Steady as the Beating Drum

Steady As The Beating Drum is a song in Disney Pocahontas.

Lyrics
Native Americans:

Hega hega yam-pi-ye-hega

Yam-pi-ye-ne-he hega

Hega hega yam-pi-ye-hega

Yam-pi-ye-ne-he hega

Steady as the beating drum

Singing to the cedar flute

Seasons Go and seasons Come

Bring the corn and bear the fruit

By the waters sweet and clean

Where the mighty sturgeon lives

Plant the squash and reap the bean

All the earth our mother gives

O Great Spirit, hear our song

Help us keep the ancient ways

Keep the sacred fire strong

Walk in balance all our days

Seasons go and seasons come

Steady as the beating drum

Plum to seed to bud to plum

(Hega hega yam-pi-ye hega)

Steady as the beating drum

Hega hega yam-pi-ye-hega

Yam-pi-ye-ne-he hega

Reprise
Chief Powhatan:

As the river cuts his path

Though the river's proud and strong

He will choose the smoothest course

That's why river's live so long

They're steady

As the steady beating drum
