Young Guns II Blaze of Glory movie - Bang A Drum lyrics

rate me

Song by Jon 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<br>

<br>
