Some Other Drum

Hear the whistling song carry the hills rolling along
I would whistle the chant, I would if I could but I can't
And the wind is taking 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

I would if I could but I can't
I would if I could but I can't
