Motherland 歌词

A wave of humility Is weeping across from the east Former hard line heroes Have been humbled to their knees Corridors of power Echo with rumors of change Nothing in our history Forever stays the same Silent revolution Not a general to be heard People power talking Is 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 Voice of reason from the Motherland Is holding on it's course Weeding out dissension And silencing the hawks, the hawks Silent revolution Not a general to be heard People power talking Is 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 But who understand everything there is to understand? The mere thought of hope and increased democracy Is reward enough in itself, well, we'll see But what of ordinary people? The ones 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 Is 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 Real people power Time has come to turn the tide Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it
