[00:32.29]I went to see the preacher
[00:34.48]To teach me how to pray
[00:37.29]He looked at me and smiled
[00:39.48]Then that preacher turned away
[00:42.43]Said, If you want to tell him something
[00:45.33]You ain't gotta fold your hands
[00:47.60]Say it with your heart, your soul and believe it
[00:50.54]And I'll say, Amen
[00:52.60]Bang a drum for the sinners
[00:55.29]Bang a drum for your sins
[00:57.91]Bang a drum for the losers
[01:00.23]And those who win
[01:02.85]Bang a drum, bang it loudly
[01:05.35]Or as soft as you need
[01:08.22]Bang a drum for yourself, son
[01:11.23]And a drum for me
[01:28.29]Well, I called upon my brother
[01:30.85]Just the other day
[01:33.04]He said, Jon, I'm gonna die
[01:35.79]If I don't start to live again
[01:38.16]I work each day and night like clockwork
[01:40.91]Just tryin' to make ends meet
[01:43.60]Well, I could kick this bad world's ass
[01:46.47]If I could just get on my feet
[01:49.23]Bang a drum for the dyin'
[01:51.73]Bang a drum for the truth
[01:53.73]Bang a drum for the innocence
[01:56.91]Lost in our youth
[01:59.54]Bang a drum, bang it loudly
[02:01.97]Or as soft as you need
[02:04.54]Bang a drum for your brother
[02:07.53]And a drum for me
[02:11.60]I don't know where
[02:12.78]All the rivers run
[02:14.98]I don't know how far
[02:17.35]I don't know how come
[02:20.35]But I'm gonna die believin'
[02:23.17]With each step that I take
[02:25.36]Ain't worth the ground that I walk
[02:28.08]If we don't walk it our own way
[02:55.97]I don't claim to be a wise man
[02:59.06]A poet or a saint
[03:01.30]Just another man who's searchin'
[03:03.86]For a better way
[03:06.36]But, my heart beats loud as thunder
[03:09.05]For the things that I believe
[03:11.30]Sometimes, I want to run for cover
[03:14.18]Sometimes, I want to scream
[03:16.67]Bang a drum for the tomorrow
[03:19.12]Bang a drum for the past
[03:21.55]Bang a drum for the heroes
[03:24.56]Who won't come back
[03:26.87]Bang a drum for the promise
[03:29.49]Bang a drum for the lies
[03:32.18]Bang a drum for the lovers
[03:34.74]And the tears they cry
[03:37.62]Bang a drum, bang it loudly
[03:39.99]Or as soft as you need
[03:42.62]But as long as my heart
[03:44.24]Keeps on banging, I've got a reason to believe
