[00:31.06]I went to see the preacher, to teach me how to pray
[00:36.80]He looked at me and smiled, then that preacher turned away
[00:41.98]Said, "If you want to tell him something, you ain't gotta fold your hands.
[00:47.17]Say it with your heart, your soul, and believe it, and I'll say, Amen."
[00:52.31]Bang a drum for the sinners, bang a drum for your sins
[00:57.54]Bang a drum for the losers and those who win
[01:58.64][01:02.62]Bang a drum, bang it loudly, or as soft as you need
[01:07.91]Bang a drum for yourself son, and a drum for me
[01:27.26]Well I called upon my brother, just the other day
[01:32.97]He said, "Jon, I'm gonna die if I don't start to live again.
[01:37.92]I work each day and night like clockwork, just tryin' to make ends meet.
[01:43.35]Well I could kick this bad world's ass if I could just get on my feet."
[01:48.60]Bang a drum for the dying, bang a drum for the truth
[01:53.83]Bang a drum for the innocence, lost in our youth
[02:04.11]Bang a drum for your brother, and a drum for me
[02:10.50]I don't know where all the rivers run
[02:14.65]I don't know how far, I don't know how come
[02:20.19]But I'm gonna die believin, with each step that I take
[02:24.90]Ain't worth the ground that I walk if we don't walk it our own way
[02:54.91]I don't claim to be a wise man, a poet, or a Saint
[03:00.52]Just another man who's searchin' for a better way
[03:05.77]But my heart beats loud as thunder, for the things that I believe
[03:10.47]Sometimes I want to run for cover, sometimes I want to scream
[03:16.33]Bang a drum for the tomorrow, bang a drum for the past
[03:21.50]Bang a drum for heroes, who won't come back
[03:26.72]Bang a drum for the promise, bang a drum for the lies
[03:31.90]Bang a drum for the lovers, and the tears they cry
[03:37.54]Bang a drum bang it loudly, or as soft as you need
[03:42.30]But as long as my heart keeps on banging, I've got a reason to believe
