There's something you should know about my friends
We take the time to make amends
For this mess we're in
And there's no reason to believe that we can change
Unless we know
That we can make a difference
We can make a difference
In this world we're livin' in
I don't know where to begin
But we gotta start somewhere
Start somewhere
There's no way I'm givin' in
To this fear I'm livin' with
So I'll yell from the rooftop
This is where it begins
Chorus:
This is why I'm of a revolution
Searching for the signs of life on earth
But something in the water
Stopped the evolution of man
I've got a plan
The revolution man
When this is over
When this is done
When the revolution's begun
I'll be standin' in the middle of a crowd
With fists held high
And there ain't no one that can stop the fire inside
I can see it in your eyes
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Said I'll be wishin for the wisdom
When the system is broken
Tryin' to listen to that mission in the words that were spoken
Tryin' to figure out what all these politicians are smokin',
You know what I mean
And in the words of Martin Luther King, I'm free at last
But only if we split the differences and learn from the past
And then our children won't be livin' in a spiritual fast
And the world keeps on turnin'
But if there's a lining in the sky
We can rely on as one
It's that there's whisper in the wind
Talkin' 'bout revolution
It's in our mothers, brothers, daughters
Sisters, fathers and sons
And in the second that we speak it
Then the battles begun
Repeat Chorus
