Lyrics

The Revolution Starts...

I was walking down the street

In the town where I was born

I was moving to a beat

That I'd never felt before

So I opened up my eyes

And I took a look around

I saw it written across the sky

The revolution starts now

Yeah, the revolution starts now

The revolution starts now

When you rise above your fear

And tear the walls around you down

The revolution starts here

Where you work and where you play

Where you lay your money down

What you do and what you say

The revolution starts now

Yeah, the revolution starts now

Yeah, the revolution starts now

In your own backyard

In your own hometown

So what're you doing standing around?

Just follow your heart

The revolution starts now

Last night I had a dream

That the world had turned around

All our hopes had come to be

And the people gathered round

They all brought what they could bring

And nobody went without

I learned a song to sing

The revolution starts now
