Pundits and Poets
Pundits and Poets, prophets and politicians
Turn it up now, turn it up
Like a preacher in a foreign mission
We're hanging on your words
Like a crowd at a count down
Things could be worse
And we're waiting to hear
The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page
The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page ahead
Pundits and Poets, prophets and politicians
Buyers and sellers and keepers of information
Ivory towers look large on my television
Between commercials
Tell us all about your vision of
The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page
The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page ahead
Shed a little light on it all
Shed a little light on it all
Shed a little light a little light
In the way of an explanation
Or just a way to understand
Shed a little ray of hope
And we'll hold it in our open hand
In the way of an explanation
We need a way to understand
Shed a little ray of hope
For the modern woman and the modern man ahead
Pundits and Poets, prophets and politicians
Stand on a stage, and they leave at the intermission
Empty handed we're waiting for a glimpse at the window
Out on the street somebody yells from the back row
It's the sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page
The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the age ahead
