Lyrics:

Pundits and Poets, prophets and politicians
Turn it up now, turn it up
Like a preacher in a foreign mission
We're hanging on your words
Like a crowd at a count down
Things could be worse
And we're waiting to hear

The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page

The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page ahead

Pundits and Poets, prophets and politicians
Buyers and sellers and keepers of information
Ivory towers look large on my television
Between commercials
Tell us all about your vision of

The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page

The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page ahead

Shed a little light on it all
Shed a little light on it all
Shed a little light a little light

In the way of an explanation
Or just a way to understand
Shed a little ray of hope
And we'll hold it in our open hand
In the way of an explanation
We need a way to understand
Shed a little ray of hope
For the modern woman and the modern man ahead

Pundits and Poets, prophets and politicians
Stand on a stage, and they leave at the intermission
Empty handed we're waiting for a glimpse at the window
Out on the street somebody yells from the back row

It's the sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the page

The sound of hope
The winds of change
The song of joy
A little light in the middle of the age ahead
