R E V O L U T I O N

As the world tumbles and turns 
              great red danger
As the world breaks into a raging fire 
        And the anger spills onto
Fuming streets 
As the people shout for change 
     Flags to the ready
  As the children march with their mothers and fathers
    The infirm call for God's hand 
  As the people cry upon the streets 
      Marching into the sun
          Fighting for 
    R E V O L U T I O N 
Thy will be done
On this day
     In this moonlight
   Commits the people to shout 
R E V O L U T I O N 
      In the anger  
           The dust
                With the blood that has been spilt upon these city streets 
        Lord; protect the people
            With an outstretched hand 
       And a rifle 
             With a temper to protect the soul; 
    To protect the children of today 
           The mother of tomorrow
     The father of yesterday
           REVOLUTION 
                 With the child asleep 
Under a velvet sky 
      With stars; 
            stars of hope 
REVOLUTION 
      REVOLUTION
REVOLUTION
               With the wheel of time 
       Gunshots in the air
             Life and death
      And the ghosts of yesterday's war
            In the killing fields of 
Every great war 
REVOLUTION 
     Has come again 
           As the tide seeps 
     A child weeps 
For mother and father 
      Dead in red rags 
              REVOLUTION
