The Revolution Starts Now
[Verses 1]
I was walking down the street
In the town where I was born
I was moving to a beat
That I'd never felt before

So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written in the sky
The revolution starts now

[Refrain]
Yeah
The revolution starts now

[Verses 2]
The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
Tear the walls around you down
Revolution starts here

Where you work and where you play
And where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, hеy:
The revolution starts now

The rеvolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doing standing around?
Follow your heart
The revolution starts now

Yeah
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In your own backyard
In your own hometown

[Verses 3]
Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
All our hopes had come to be
And all the people gathered 'round

They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And they learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now
(now, now)
[Chorus 3]
Yeah, the revolution starts now
Yeah-eh-eh-eah
The revolution starts now
In your own backyard
Your own hometown
What you doing standing around?
Yeah-ooh-ooh
The revolution starts now
Yeah right now, right now
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now

In your own backyard
In your own hometown
(ooh-hoo)
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
