[Intro] Rat-a-tat Tat-tat Rat-a-tat-tat A heartbeat echoes where the world fell flat A march to the manger The road is long A lone drum whispers—soon comes the song I bring no gold No crown No flame Just a rhythm to call His name I’ll play my heart I’ll pound my soul For the King For the King To make Him whole Boom Boom Boom—my drum will sing Boom Boom Boom—for the newborn King [Verse 1] A winter sky So cold So clear The stars above—they draw me near No treasure wrapped No jewels to shine Just these two hands And this beat of mine Oh The oxen sigh The lamb lies still The world in silence bends to His will [Prechorus] The stable shakes with Heaven’s sound I strike the drum; the sky resounds [Chorus] I bring no gold No crown No flame Just a rhythm to call His name I’ll play my heart I’ll pound my soul For the King For the King To make Him whole Boom Boom Boom—my drum will sing Boom Boom Boom—for the newborn King [Outro] Rat-a-tat-tat Let the heavens know Boom Boom Boom Let the rhythm grow Echoes ring They fill the night A drummer’s hymn in the holy light
