THE DRUMS ARE BEATING

The drums are beating
There's life all around
But why do I feel dead?
And that God's against me?

I who believe in God
Have discovered no hope
I who believe in God
Find He's blind, He's deaf

The drums are beating
Life echoes in every beat
But death haunts my dreams
Death haunts my thoughts

Can you hear the drums?
Can you hear them?
They beat with life
But I see my  heart dying

People disappoint me
People wound me
But the drums beat on
Even as my life ebbs away
