Galahad - Motherland lyrics

A wave of humility is sweeping across from the East Former hard line heroes have been humbled to their knees Corridors of power echo with rumours of change Nothing in our history forever stays the same Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached The puppet master pulls the strings, the marionettes are weaving In and out, side to side to escape their master's teasing The voice of reason from the Motherland is holding to its course Weeding out dissension and silencing the hawks Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached Reform, react, a clearer, brighter destiny Reform, react, a safer world for you and for me Armchair observers might not get the whole picture Who understands everything there is to understand The mere thought of hope and increased democracy Is reward enough in and of itself, well we'll see What of the ordinary people? The one's who've had to suffer Who've lived with austerity And never had the privileged pleasures Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached Constructive revolution - building blocks to a better life People power talking - time has come to turn the tide
