Little Drummer Boy

[Intro] Yeah Cold night, bright star, no riches to deploy Just a heartbeat beat and a broke little boy [Hook] Pa rum pum pum pum Yeah I brought that drum Pa rum pum pum pum Only gift I got, still I’m gonna give some Pa rum pum pum pum Hear the night go numb Pa rum pum pum pum Play it for the King till the morning comes [Verse 1] Came from the alley where the frostbite bites No gold in my pockets, just rhythm and fight They talk about frankincense, jewels and art I got callused hands and a stubborn heart Crowd look sideways like, kid move along But the star overhead said keep that song I ain’t dressed royal, no silk no plume Just kicks full of snow and a boom bap boom [Hook] Pa rum pum pum pum Let it echo slow Pa rum pum pum pum Every cracked street got a halo glow Pa rum pum pum pum When the lights burn low Pa rum pum pum pum I play hope loud so the world can know [Verse 2] Mary saw the doubt, saw the shake in my stance I said I ain’t got much but I got this chance Every hit of the skin was a prayer in time Every knock on the beat was a crossed thin line No throne in sight, just hay and breath But the silence broke like it feared my next step When I tapped that rhythm, something changed the air Like peace leaned in and pulled up a chair [Bridge] No diamonds, no crown Still the room shook sound When your truth hits hard Even kings bow down [Hook] Pa rum pum pum pum Feel the chest go numb Pa rum pum pum pum Every scar got a story where we come from Pa rum pum pum pum If you got no sum Pa rum pum pum pum Bring your heart on beat, let it bang that drum [Verse 3] Now it’s passed down blocks, through the years we play From church bells ringing to the sub in the sleigh Every kid with a dream and a beat to defend Knows the power of noise when it’s honest within So if you feel small in the glare of the glow Remember that night in the hush and the snow The world changed course from a simple hum When a nobody stepped up and let faith drum [Outro] Pa rum pum pum pum Yeah the night said run Pa rum pum pum pum But I stood my ground till the work was done Pa rum pum pum pum Play it soft or dumb Pa rum pum pum pum Every little beat still crowns the Son
