Children of the Revolution
By Etienne Noret

I have heard the people sing
Singing the song of angry men.
And the time has come at last for me
To join them once again!
Now the beating of my heart
Echoes the beating of their drums
And my life begins anew
When tomorrow comes!

I have joined in their crusade
And, once more, they stand with me;
Beyond the barricade
Lies the new world that we see.
I have joined in their fight
And they give me the right to be free!

When you truly hear them sing,
Just that moment changes life,
Now the siren’s call has caught you
And you must needs join the strife.
For your heart now beats with theirs,
To the beating of their drums,
And the revolution starts
When tomorrow comes!

They will ask you for your all,
Are you ready for the fight?
When the trumpet sounds the call
Will you go marching toward the light?
The heartbeat within you
Will bolster the cause of the right!

If you hear the people sing,
Then their call is for the world.
If you wait and keep your silence,
Will the freedom still be heard?
No, it’s you who must stand forth,
March to the beat of different drums
And it’s you the world may seek
When tomorrow comes!
