J. bon jovi<br><br>I went to see the preacher<br>To teach me how to pray<br>He looked at me and smiled<br>Then the preacher turned away<br>He said if you want to tell him something<br>You ain't gotta fold your hands<br>Say it with your heart<br>Your soul and believe it<br>And I'd say amen<br><br>Bang a drum for the sinners<br>Bang a drum for the sins<br>Bang a drum for the losers<br>And those who win<br>Bang a drum bang it loudly<br>Or as soft as you need<br>Bang a drum for yourself son<br>And a drum for me<br><br>I called upon my brother just the<br>Other day, he said: john I'm gonna<br>Die if I don't start to live again<br>I work each day and night like clockwork<br>Just trying to make ends meet<br>I could kick this bad world's ass<br>If I could just get on my feet<br><br>I'd bang a drum for the dying<br>Bang a drum for the truth<br>Bang a drum for the innocence<br>Lost in our youth<br>Bang a drum bang it loudly<br>Or as soft as you need<br>Bang a drum for you brother<br>And a drum for me<br><br>I don't know where all the rivers run<br>I don't know how far, I don't know how come<br>But I'm gonna die believin'<br>Each step that I take<br>Ain't worth the ground that<br>I walk on<br>If we don't walk it our<br>Own way<br><br>No I don't claim to be a wiseman<br>A poet or a saint<br>I'm just another man who's searching<br>For a better way<br>But my heart beats loud as thunder<br>For the things that I believe<br>Sometimes I wanna run for cover<br>Sometimes I want to scream<br><br>Bang a drum for tomorrow<br>Bang a drum for the past<br>Bang a drum for the heroes<br>That won't come back<br>Bang a drum for the promise<br>Bang a drum for the lies<br>Bang a drum for the lovers<br>And the tears they've cried<br>Bang a drum bang it loudly<br>Or as soft as you need<br>But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'<br>I got a reason to believe
