When you're young, they take your hand   Say you're from the greatest land   Right or wrong, they teach you the song   Of your people      And in your dreams, they shape your mind   Until it seems, you're one of their kind   And on your tongue, they write the song   Of your people      Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?   Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution   Mother tell me, are there wars to be won?   Can you tell me?      Am I a child of the son?   The only one who rules the world   Is every little boy or girl   Child you're the revolution      I wanna bury your flags and all your religions   It's a fuckin' drag to hear all your bitchin'   When I was young, standin' in the kitchen   With all the hatred on the television      Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?   Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution   Mother tell me, are there wars to be won?   Can you tell me?      Am I a child of the son?   The only one who rules the world   Is every little boy or girl   Child you're the revolution      Child, you're the revolution   Child, you're the revolution   Child, you're the revolution   I say child, you're the revolution      Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?   Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution   Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?   Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution      Am I a child of the son?   Mother tell me, are there wars to be won?   Can you tell me?      Am I a child of the son?   The only one who rules the world   Is every little boy or girl   Child you're the revolution      Child, you're the revolution   Child, you're the revolution   Child, you're the revolution
