Beating of the Drum Lyrics by Backstage Cast

Songs from Backstage, Vol. 9

2016

[Verse 1]
When all your fears begin to come true
And everyone has turned their back on you
Close your eyes and reach for the sky, yeah
You're breathless and you're weightless
They can say all the things that they want
And believe whatever they taunt
They're not the mirror on your wall
They didn't make you, they can't break you

[Pre-Chorus]
This feeling that comes on
It's all you ever wanted
What keeps you moving forward
Is knowing what you started

[Chorus]
The beating of the drum, it's never gonna stop
Playing its rhythm for you
And the beating of your heart, it's only gonna start
Lifting you up on through
No matter where you roam, this is your home
And these doors are open for you
The beating of your heart, it's never gonna stop
Playing its rhythm for you

[Bridge]
Wanna feel it, I can't explain it
I need to know how
But you keep erasing the things I'm chasing
And trying to find out
Under the twilight, changing to midnight
A breathless something awaits until
There is an answer written in cursive
I'll do whatever it takes

I know I can't change it or rearrange it
I want to show it all (I want to show it all, how, this)
I could never have enough of this stuff (I could never, I could never)
I could never have enough of this (I could never, I could never, never, never, never)

[Verse 2]
When all your fears begin to come true
And everyone has turned their back on you
Close your eyes and reach for the sky, yeah
You're breathless and you're weightless

[Pre-Chorus]
This feeling that comes on
It's all you ever wanted
What keeps you moving forward
Is knowing what you started

[Chorus]
The beating of the drum, it's never gonna stop
Playing its rhythm for you
And the beating of your heart, it's only gonna start
Lifting you up on through
No matter where you roam, this is your home
And these doors are open for you
The beating of the drum, it's never gonna stop
Playing its rhythm for you
