Chris Ledoux - Bang A Drum (With Jon Bon Jovi) |
|
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 dying, bang a drum for the truth |
|
Bang a drum for the innocence, lost in our youth |
|
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 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 |
