Out of the past and into your future comes this news
And the news is Public Service Broadcasting
A bright new era dawning
The vivid, pulsating miracle that gives substance to shadow
Who knows what miracles are yet to come?

There’s nothing between us and heaven
Nothing at all

C’mon, I’ll give you a real ride
Here we go again
I believe in this world to come, I think it’s gonna be a pretty good world
