Lyrics
0:32I went to see the preacher
0:34To teach me how to pray
0:37He looked at me and smiled
0:39Then that preacher turned away
0:42Said If you want to tell him something
0:45You ain't gotta fold your hands
0:47Say it with your heart your soul and believe it
0:50And I'll say Amen
0:52Bang a drum for the sinners
0:55Bang a drum for your sins
0:57Bang a drum for the losers
1:01And those who win
1:03Bang a drum bang it loudly
1:06Or as soft as you need
1:08Bang a drum for yourself son
1:11And a drum for me
1:29Well I called upon my brother
1:31Just the other day
1:33He said Jon I'm gonna die
1:36If I don't start to live again
1:38I work each day and night like clockwork
1:41Just tryin' to make ends meet
1:43Well I could kick this bad world's ass
1:46If I could just get on my feet
1:49Bang a drum for the dyin'
1:51Bang a drum for the truth
1:54Bang a drum for the innocence
1:57Lost in our youth
1:59Bang a drum bang it loudly
2:02Or as soft as you need
2:04Bang a drum for your brother
2:07And a drum for me
2:11I don't know where
2:13All the rivers run
2:15I don't know how far
2:18I don't know how come
2:20But I'm gonna die believin'
2:23With each step that I take
2:25Ain't worth the ground that I walk
2:27If we don't walk it our own way
2:56I don't claim to be a wise man
2:59A poet or a saint
3:01Just another man who's searchin'
3:04For a better way
3:06But my heart beats loud as thunder
3:09For the things that I believe
3:11Sometimes I want to run for cover
3:14Sometimes I want to scream
3:16Bang a drum for the tomorrow
3:19Bang a drum for the past
3:22Bang a drum for the heroes
3:25Who won't come back
3:27Bang a drum for the promise
3:29Bang a drum for the lies
3:32Bang a drum for the lovers
3:35And the tears they cry
3:37Bang a drum bang it loudly
3:40Or as soft as you need
3:42But as long as my heart
3:44Keeps on banging I've got a reason to believe
I went to see the preacher To teach me how to pray He looked at me and smiled Then that preacher turned away 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'll say Amen Bang a drum for the sinners Bang a drum for your 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 Well I called upon my brother Just the other day He said Jon I'm gonna die If I don't start to live again I work each day and night like clockwork Just tryin' to make ends meet Well I could kick this bad world's ass If I could just get on my feet Bang a drum for the dyin' 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 your 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 But I'm gonna die believin' With each step that I take Ain't worth the ground that I walk If we don't walk it our own way I don't claim to be a wise man A poet or a saint Just another man who's searchin' For a better way But my heart beats loud as thunder For the things that I believe Sometimes I want to run for cover Sometimes I want to scream Bang a drum for the tomorrow Bang a drum for the past Bang a drum for the heroes Who 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 cry Bang a drum bang it loudly Or as soft as you need But as long as my heart Keeps on banging I've got a reason to believe
