Different Drum Lyrics by Luke O’Shea

Different Drum

2023

[Verse 1]
I see you sitting there like a broken wallflower
Your toes are all busted and bruised
You're still tapping your feet, though you hear a different beat
And they keep treading on your pretty shoes
And as the music keeps playin', you hear different conversations
And you don't fit into any one
You may feel you're alone, but when the band's long gone
You're still dancing to a different drum
Just keep dancing to a different drum

[Verse 2]
Now, you and I can have a difference of opinion
Both sides can be right or wrong
We can try to speak, but if nobody's listening
Then it's hard for us to get along
Now it may take a little time, but no one changes their mind
Talkin' down the barrel of a gun
May be hard to accept, but you gotta respect
The people dancing to a different drum
Just keep dancing to a different drum

[Refrain]
Just keep on dancing

[Verse 3]
Now, you and I can have a different way of praying
To help us get from A to B
You can try to conceal it, or open up, reveal it
For me, it's the in-between
For you and I, we share the same destination
And who knows when the race is run?
Hell, I'm in no rush, but, hey, until I get there
I'll keep dancing to a different drum
Just keep dancing to a different drum

[Refrain]
Just keep on dancing, woah
Just keep dancing
(Hey)
