[Verse 1]
Smile in the face of your enemies
They can't kill your dreams
New faces welcome down at the meeting place
With a goal of the future, a bright new blaze

[Verse 2]
Down the street you can hear the sound of confusion
Echoing like a million voices
On the wave of the wind you may ride
But only if you're not scared to fall

[Refrain]
I think this change is here to stay, don't you know?
Revolution come, revolution go

[Verse 3]
New master riding in on a white horse
All the new kings with them feet of clay
Lying to the people 'bout some new deal
Chump change happens every day

[Verse 4]
People in the streets raising their voices high
Trying to be heard over the thunder
World is rumbling and trembling
Is it some kind of spell that we're under?
[Refrain]
I think this change is here to stay, don't you know?
Revolution come, revolution go

[Verse 5]
Sun is rising on the sinking town
Don't let us die before the sun goes down
Bells ringing in the hope of a brand new day

[Verse 6]
We come flying on the wings of a song
Singing the message of right and wrong
Keep on ringing them bells for the brand new day
For the brand new day
Keep on ringing them bells for the brand new day

[Verse 1]
Smile in the face of your enemies
They can't kill your dreams
I think this change is here to stay, don't you know?
Revolution come, revolution go
