Versuri Bang a Drum

  
I went to see the preacher to teach me how to pray  
He looked at me and smiled  
Then that 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  
Ooh, let me hear you say yeah (yeah), hallelujah, amen  
 
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  
Well 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 way
