You see the moon and watch it rise
Across the continent the night bird sings
And somewhere someone hears it's cry
So disillusioned
Keep your head down
If you do they'll never know
You'll have no answers to their questions
And they will have to let you go
And disenfranchised
Revolution
They'll take away by right what's yours
And make you martyrs of your own cause
When they don't know what cause it's for
And all deserted
Stand alerted
They'll love you when you're all alone
But you find a red rose in the morning light
You wait the night and find it gone
So hear my words with faith and passion
For what I say to you is true
And when you find the one you might become
Remember part of me is you
It's a simple song for simple feeling You see the moon and watch it rise Across the continent the night bird sings And somewhere someone hears it's cry So disillusioned Keep your head down If you do they'll never know You'll have no answers to their questions And they will have to let you go And disenfranchised Revolution They'll take away by right what's yours And make you martyrs of your own cause When they don't know what cause it's for And all deserted Stand alerted They'll love you when you're all alone But you find a red rose in the morning light You wait the night and find it gone So hear my words with faith and passion For what I say to you is true And when you find the one you might become Remember part of me is you Explain Request ×
