When you're young    They take your hand    And say you're from the greatest land    Right or wrong    Teach you the song of    Your people.       In your dreams you shape your mind    Until it seems    You're one of their kind    And on your tongue    You write the song of your people.       Mother tell me    Is there love on my tongue    Mother tell me if I'm the revolution    Mother tell me are there wars to be won    Can you tell me am I a child of the sun    The only one who rules the world    Is every little boy or girl    You're The Revolution.       I want to bury your flags    And all your religions    Its such a drag    To hear all your bitching    When I was young standing in the kitchen    All the hatred on the television.       Mother tell me    Is there love on my tongue    Mother tell me if I'm the revolution    Mother tell me are there wars to be won    Can you tell me am I a child of the sun    The only one who rules the world    Is every little boy or girl    You're the revolution.       Child, You're The Revolution.   Child, You're The Revolution.   Child, You're The Revolution.   I said Child, You're The Revolution.      Mother tell me    Is there love on my tongue    Mother tell me if I'm the revolution    Mother tell me are there wars to be won    Can you tell me am I a child of the sun    The only one who rules the world    Is every little boy or girl   I said world, the only one who rules the world    Is every little boy or girl   You're the revolution   You're the revolution.      Child, You're The Revoution.      Revolution.   Revolution.
