In the girl there’s a room
In the room there’s a table
On the table there’s a candle
and it won’t burn out
In the woman there’s a song
in the song there is hope
in the hope revolution
In the boy there’s a voice
in the voice there’s a calling
In the call there’s a promise
and it won’t quiet down
In the man there’s vision
In the vision is a road
It’s the road to his freedom…
Tell me what you know
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
and still there are songs
In the man is a work
and the work is his future
and the future is his children
and he won’t slow down
In the woman there’s a faith
in the faith there’s a prayer
in the prayer there’s a promise…
In the boy is a dream
in the dream he is standing
and he stands without shaking/ failing/ wavering/ fear
and he won’t sit down
In the girl is a song
In the song there is hope
in the hope there’s defiance…
Tell me what you know
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can be wrong
and still there are songs
In their hearts and souls
an unstoppable refrain
Hope stands/sings in defiance
