Bang A Drum (feat. Jon Bon Jovi) lyrics

I went to see the preacher to teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled then that preacher turned away. Said 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 "Jon, 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.

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 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 believing with each step that I take ain't worth the ground that I walk on if we don't walk it our own way.

I don't claim to be a wiseman, a poet or a saint. Just another man who 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 wanna scream.

Bang a drum for tomorrow, bang a drum for the past. Bang a drum for the 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've cried.
Bang a drum, bang it loudly or as soft as you need. But as long as my heart keeps on beatin'; I've got reason to believe
