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 man there's vision 

In the vision is a road 

It's the road to his freedom... 


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 woman is a picture 

in the picture is a girl 

in the girl there's a room... 


Tell me what you know 

About God and the world and the human soul 

How so much can be wrong 

and still there are songs 


In the man is a work 

and the work is his future 

and the future is his children 

and he won't slow down 


In the woman there's a 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 shaking/ failing/ wavering/ fear 

and he won't sit down 


In the girl is a song 

In the song there is hope 

in the hope there's defiance... 


Tell me what you know 

About God and the world and the human soul 

How so much can be wrong 

and still there are songs 


In their hearts and souls 

an unstoppable refrain 

Hope stands/sings in defiance
