Bang the Drum
Bryan Adams & Nelly Furtado Lyrics

You and I
Together, we are united

Together we reach for the sky
We aim for the highest goals

It's not about winning
Victory is not the most important thing

It's all about playing the game
What really counts is participating

From the east
From distant lands

From the west
From faraway places

Each of us trying our best
We all do our utmost

Chasing a dream
Pursuing our aspirations

Burning to follow the flame
Passionate to follow our calling

Bang the drum a little louder
Make more noise, attract more attention

So the whole world can hear
So everyone can listen

Sing the song a little longer
Extend the message through music

From near
From close proximity

From far
From afar

It's clear wherever you are
It is obvious no matter where you are

This is your moment
Now is your time to shine

Your time to run like the wind
It is your opportunity to be swift and successful

Dream big (dream big)
Set ambitious goals (set ambitious goals)

Aim high (aim high)
Set high expectations (set high expectations)

Even believe you can fly
Have faith in your abilities

Give it your all
Put all your effort into it

Let the games begin
Let the competition start

Jump up a little higher
Take your performance to a higher level

So the whole world can see
So everyone can witness it

Bang your drum a little louder
Make more noise with your passion

For the whole world to hear
So the message can be spread globally

Sing your song a little longer
Extend the reach of your message through music
