In the girl there's a room
In the room there's a table
On the table there's a candle
And it won't burn out

In the woman there's a song
In the song there is hope
In the hope revolution

In the boy there's a voice
In the voice there's a calling
In the call there's a promise
And it won't quiet down

In the man there's vision
In the vision is a road
It's the road to his freedom...

Oh, tell me what you know
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
And still there are songs

In the man there's a plan
In the plan is his future
And the future's for his child and he won't slow down

In the girl there is faith
And the faith there's a prayer
In the prayer there's a promise

In the boy is a dream
In the dream he is standing
And he stands without falling
And he won't back down

In the woman is a picture
In the picture is a girl
In the girl there's a room...

Oh, tell me what you know
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
And still there are songs

In our hearts and souls
An unstoppable refrain
Hope stands in defiance

In the girl there's a room
In the room there's a table
On the table there's a candle and it won't burn out
It won't burn out

Oh, tell me what you know
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
And still there are songs
