Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Chant] Eh-eh… Feel that drum… Feel that drum… [Verse 1] My heart beats like a patient drum, Soft and steady—here it come. Not too loud and not too fast, Just strong enough to make it last. Sun rise up, the day begin, Dust on road, sweat on skin. Left foot, right foot—feel that hum, I move my life to that drum. [Pre-Chorus – Build] Boom… boom… it calls my name, Same old rhythm, never change. [Chorus – Call & Response] Leader: Ohhh— Crowd: The patient drum! Leader: When it calls— Crowd: I will come! Through the heat! Through the hum! When the world feels overcome— Still it beating in my chest, Still it telling me I’m blessed— My heart beats like a patient drum, Eh-eh… like a patient drum. [Verse 2] When I’m running wild with fear, It slow me down—say, “I’m here.” When my plans fall in the sand, It write new rhythm in my hand. Long night, no sleep come, Still I hear that steady drum. Dark may whisper, shadows come, But I stand strong to that drum. [Bridge – Percussion Break] Boom-ka boom-ka… boom boom… Life no easy—still we move. Boom-ka boom-ka… boom boom… As long as drum dey talk, we prove. [Final Chorus – Bigger] Ohhh— The patient drum! Always calling me home! Through the fire, Through the storm, I no walk alone. When the world comes undone, Still it beating as one— My heart beats like a patient drum, My heart beats like a patient drum.
