| I was walkin' down the street In the town where I was born I was movin' to a beat That I'd never felt before So I opened up my eyes And I took a look around I saw it written 'cross the sky The revolution starts now Yeah, the revolution starts now The revolution starts now When you rise above your fear And tear the walls around you down The revolution starts here Where you work and where you play Where you lay your money down What you do and what you say The revolution starts now Yeah the revolution starts now Yeah the revolution starts now In your own backyard In your own hometown So what you doin' standin' around? Just follow your heart The revolution starts now Last night I had a dream That the world had turned around And all our hopes had come to be And the people gathered 'round They all brought what they could bring And nobody went without And I learned a song to sing The revolution starts now Words and Music by Steve Earle Produced by Steve Earle and Ray Kennedy for the twangtrust Recorded and mixed by Ray Kennedy at Room & Board, Hermitage, TN Assisted by Patrick Earle Production Coordinator: Elisa Sanders Guitar technicalities: Greg "Chief" Frahn Mastered by Jim DeMain at Yes Master Studios, Nashville, TN CP 2004 E-Squared, LLC / Sheridan Square Entertainment, LLC.
