Motherland |
A wave of humility is sweeping across from the East |
Former hard line heroes have been humbled to their knees |
Corridors of power echo with rumours of change |
Nothing in our history forever stays the same |
Silent revolution — not a General to be heard |
People power talking — the power of the spoken word |
Quiet revolution — a peaceful pragmatic approach |
Real people power — a subject not often broached |
The puppet master pulls the strings, the marionettes are weaving |
In and out, side to side to escape their master’s teasing |
The voice of reason from the Motherland is holding to its course |
Weeding out dissension and silencing the hawks |
Silent revolution — not a General to be heard |
People power talking — the power of the spoken word |
Quiet revolution — a peaceful pragmatic approach |
Real people power — a subject not often broached |
Reform, react, a clearer, brighter destiny |
Reform, react, a safer world for you and for me |
Armchair observers might not get the whole picture |
Who understands everything there is to understand |
The mere thought of hope and increased democracy |
Is reward enough in and of itself, well we’ll see |
What of the ordinary people? |
The one’s who’ve had to suffer |
Who’ve lived with austerity |
And never had the privileged pleasures |
Silent revolution — not a General to be heard |
People power talking — the power of the spoken word |
Quiet revolution — a peaceful pragmatic approach |
Real people power — a subject not often broached |
Constructive revolution — building blocks to a better life |
People power talking — time has come to turn the tide |
