In the girl there's a room
In the room there's a table
On the table there's a candle
And it won't burn out
In the woman is a song
In the song there is hope
In the hope revolution
In the boy there's a voice
And the voice there's a calling
In the call there's a promise
And it won't quiet down
In the man there's a vision
In the vision is a road
It's the road to his freedom
Oh, tell me what you know of
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
And still there are songs
In the man there's a plan
In the plan is his future
And the future is for his child
And he won't slow down
In the girl there is faith
In the faith there's a prayer
In the prayer there's a promise
In the boy is a dream
In the dream he is standing
And he stands without falling
And he won't back down
In the woman is a picture
In the picture is a girl
In the girl there's a room
Oh, tell me what you know of
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
And still there are songs
In their hearts and souls
An unstoppable refrain
Hope stands in defiance
In the girl there's a room
In the girl
In the girl there's a room
In the girl there's a room
In the room there's a table
On the table there's a candle
And it won't burn out, it won't burn out
Oh, tell me what you know of
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
And still there are songs
Tell me what you know
About God and the world and the human soul
How so much can go wrong
And still there are songs
In the man, in the boy
In the girl, in the woman
There's a room
Yeah, this is a song about hope
This is a song about freedom
This is a song about the defiance
Of a prayer
And it won't burn down
And it won't burn down
And it won't burn down
And it won't burn down
