Bang A Drum
|
|
J. Bon Jovi
|
|
I went to see the preacher
|
To teach me how to pray
|
He looked at me and smiled
|
Then the 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
|
|
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
|
But 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
|
Own way
|
|
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
|
|
