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
