Lyrics:

Verse 1

Walking down the dusty road,

With his drum held high,

David played a joyful tune,

Beneath the starry sky.

People said it’s just a noise,

But his heart began to sing,

He knew his rhythm wasn’t loud—

It was a gift for the King!

🎶 Chorus

Rata tat, rata tat, play your song of love!

Rata tat, rata tat, lift your heart above!

You don’t need words to let joy ring—

Just play your part for the newborn King!

Verse 2

In the stable, soft and warm,

Where baby Jesus lay,

David played his heartbeat song,

To chase the tears away.

Mary smiled and Joseph said,

“Listen—do you hear that sound?”

The love of God in every beat,

Was all around.

🎶 Chorus

Rata tat, rata tat, play your song of love!

Rata tat, rata tat, lift your heart above!

You don’t need words to let joy ring—

Just play your part for the newborn King!

Bridge

When you think you’re small or shy,

Don’t hide your light away—

Every gift God gives to you,

Was made to shine and play!

Final Chorus (Joyful Repeat)

Rata tat, rata tat, play your song of love!

Rata tat, rata tat, lift your heart above!

You don’t need words to let joy ring—

Your heartbeat drum was made to sing!

Your heartbeat drum was made to sing! 🥁💛
