I was walkin' down the street
 In the town where I was born
 I was movin' 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 'cross the sky
 The revolution starts now
 Yeah, the revolution starts now

 The revolution starts now
 When you rise above your fear
 And tear the walls around you down
 The revolution starts here
 Where you work and where you play
 Where you lay your money down
 What you do and what you say
 The revolution starts now
 Yeah the revolution starts now

 Yeah the revolution starts now
 In your own backyard
 In your own hometown
 So what you doin' standin' around?
 Just follow your heart
 The revolution starts now

 Last night I had a dream
 That the world had turned around
 And all our hopes had come to be
 And the people gathered 'round
 They all brought what they could bring
 And nobody went without
 And I learned a song to sing
 The revolution starts now
