Bang A Drum |
I went to see the preacher to teach me how to pray |
He looked at me and smiled |
Then that preacher turned away |
He said if you want to tell him something |
You ain’t gotta fold your hands |
Say it with your heart, your soul and believe it |
And I’d say amen |
Bang a drum for the sinners |
Bang a drum for the sins |
Bang a drum for the losers |
And those who win |
Bang a drum, bang it loudly |
Or as soft as you need |
Bang a drum for yourself son |
And a drum for me |
Ooh, let me hear you say yeah (yeah), hallelujah, amen |
I called upon my brother just the other day |
He said: John I’m gonna die if I don’t start to live again |
I work each day and night like clockwork |
Just trying to make ends meet |
I could kick this bad world’s ass |
If I could just get on my feet |
I’d bang a drum for the dying |
Bang a drum for the truth |
Bang a drum for the innocence lost in our youth |
Bang a drum, bang it loudly |
Or as soft as you need |
Bang a drum for you brother |
And a drum for me |
I don’t know where all the rivers run |
I don’t know how far, I don’t know how come |
Well I’m gonna die believin' each step that I take |
Ain’t worth the ground that I walk on |
If we don’t walk it our way |
(ooh…) |
No I don’t claim to be a wiseman, a poet or a saint |
I’m just another man who’s searching for a better way |
But my heart beats loud as thunder |
For the things that I believe |
Sometimes I wanna run for cover |
Sometimes I want to scream |
Bang a drum for tomorrow |
Bang a drum for the past |
Bang a drum for the heroes that won’t come back |
Bang a drum for the promise |
Bang a drum for the lies |
Bang a drum for the lovers and the tears they’ve cried |
Bang a drum, bang it loudly |
Or as soft as you need |
But as long as my heart keeps on bangin' |
I got a reason to believe (I got a reason to believe) |
(Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, hallelujah, amen) |
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah |
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen |
Come on now (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah |
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen |
All right girls (yeah) brother (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah |
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen |
