Some Other Drum

Beauty, the whistler's song

Carry the hills rolling along

I would whistle the chant

I would if I could but I can't

And the wind has taken the song

Up through the trees singing it wrong

It would whistle the chant

It would if it could, but it can't

Everybody's singing their own song

Everybody's got their own plan

Some it seems are marching on time wrong

They're only hearing some other drum

So you see life's just a card

You play it right or you play it hard

It's a personal slant

I would if I could, but I can't

Everybody's singing their own song

Everybody's got their own plan

Some it seems are marching on time wrong

They're only hearing some other drum

So you see

Life's just a card

You play it right

Or you play it hard

It's a personal slant

I would if I could, but I can't

I would if I could, but I can't

I would if I could, but I can't
