lindon - sound of the drums كلمات الأغنية

when my daddy
was growing up
he was dirt poor
8 kids in one room
sleeping on the floor
same clothes everyday
yeah that’s all he wore
rain coming through
the roof
when it started to pour
some nights he didn’t eat
cause he couldn’t afford
plus he lived
on top of a mountain
that’s far from the stores
no car
so he used to walk
back and forth
this was way before
yugoslavia had wars
things started getting worse
and harder to ignore
tired of the struggle
last resort
heard about america
and wanted to explore
so he left his family
and headed to
new york
us back
in the 80’s
was immigrants galore
you can’t really
blame him
he just wanted more
found a job started
paying bills
with no support
his trust in god
is the only thing that
kept him sure
that’s the sound
that the
drummer boy
makes on his drum
it goes
ra pa pam pam pam
that’s the sound
that the drummer boy
make on his drum
pa ra pa pam pam
that’s the sound
that the
drummer boy
makes on his drum
it goes
ra pa pam pam pam
that’s the sound
that the drummer boy
make on his drum
pa ra pa pam pam

back
when my mama
was a child
things were difficult
girls and women
barely had rights
they were miserable
on top of that
physical abuse
was typical
at times
she was
ignored
feeling invisible
poor
living conditions
that weren’t livable
house made out of rocks
no residual
income
so she prayed
for a miracle
never had much
and if so
it was minimal
what’s about
to happen next
was unpredictable
a family member
came to get her
both her brothers too
brought them
to america
out of the blue
living in new york
adjusting to the new
environment
got a job
made some revenue
just enough to get by
and make it through
cook
clean
work
everyday
that’s all she would do
her faith in god
is the only reason
she kept her cool
that’s the sound
that the
drummer girl
makes on her drum
it goes
ra pa pam pam pam
that’s the sound
that the drummer girl
make on her drum
pa ra pa pam pam
that’s the sound
that the
drummer girl
makes on her drum
it goes
ra pa pam pam pam
that’s the sound
that the drummer girl
make on her drum
pa ra pa pam pam

my folks
came a long way
figuratively
and literally
from europe to the bronx
met each other
coincidentally
got married
moved in together
started a family
but it wasn’t easy
a lot of responsibilities
paying the bills
helping to support
their relatives
back home
never took out a loan
and still managed
to make ends meat
that’s the true definition
of living
the american dream
god gives grace
to the humble
which explains why
they made it
out the struggle
cause anytime
things got tough
they remained grateful
and didn’t give up
moral of the story
what you keep
is all you have
what you give god
multiplies
do the math
so everybody
grab your drum
and play along
to this song
pa ra pa pam pam
that’s the sound
that the
drummer boy
makes on his drum
it goes
ra pa pam pam pam
that’s the sound
that the drummer girl
make on her drum
pa ra pa pam pam
that’s the sound
that the
drummer boy
makes on his drum
it goes
ra pa pam pam pam
that’s the sound
that the drummer girl
make on her drum
pa ra pa pam pam

yeah
i love you mom and dad
i hope i’m making you proud
