Lyrics

[00:22.21] I went to see the preacher
[00:24.96] To teach me how to pray
[00:27.51] He looked at me and smiled
[00:30.06] Then the preacher turned away
[00:32.60] He said if you want to tell him something
[00:35.44] You ain't gotta fold your hands
[00:37.88] Say it with your heart
[00:39.25] Your soul and believe it
[00:40.56] And i'd say amen
[00:42.93]
[00:43.63] Bang a drum for the sinners
[00:46.01] Bang a drum for the sins
[00:48.65] Bang a drum for the losers
[00:51.70] And those who win
[00:54.05] Bang a drum bang it loudly
[00:56.99] Or as soft as you need
[00:59.54] Bang a drum for yourself son
[01:02.74] And a drum for me
[01:04.60]
[01:20.44] I called upon my brother just the
[01:23.08] Other day, he said: john i'm gonna
[01:27.05] Die if i don't start to live again
[01:30.47] I work each day and night like clockwork
[01:33.38] Just trying to make ends meet
[01:36.17] I could kick this bad world's ass
[01:38.64] If i could just get on my feet
[01:41.11]
[01:41.60] I'd bang a drum for the dying
[01:43.97] Bang a drum for the truth
[01:46.63] Bang a drum for the innocence
[01:49.74] Lost in our youth
[01:52.19] Bang a drum bang it loudly
[01:54.95] Or as soft as you need
[01:57.51] Bang a drum for you brother
[02:00.20] And a drum for me
[02:02.42]
[02:04.26] I don't know where all the rivers run
[02:08.48] I don't know how far, i don't know how come
[02:12.76] But i'm gonna die believin'
[02:16.55] Each step that i take
[02:18.77] Ain't worth the ground that
[02:20.70] I walk on
[02:22.22] If we don't walk it our
[02:24.97] Own way
[02:26.50]
[02:50.42] No i don't claim to be a wiseman
[02:53.38] A poet or a saint
[02:55.95] I'm just another man who's searching
[02:58.59] For a better way
[03:01.21] But my heart beats loud as thunder
[03:03.70] For the things that i believe
[03:06.11] Sometimes i wanna run for cover
[03:09.20] Sometimes i want to scream
[03:11.04]
[03:11.76] Bang a drum for tomorrow
[03:14.33] Bang a drum for the past
[03:16.90] Bang a drum for the heroes
[03:19.97] That won't come back
[03:22.18] Bang a drum for the promise
[03:25.12] Bang a drum for the lies
[03:27.72] Bang a drum for the lovers
[03:30.68] And the tears they've cried
[03:33.16] Bang a drum bang it loudly
[03:36.09] Or as soft as you need
[03:38.55] But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'
[03:41.42] I got a reason to believe
