(Voice of the word) we hear you say
(Prophet of the word) we see them play
(Voice of the word) we see the light
(Prophet of the word) then hope you’re right
(Voice of the word) a brand new star
(Prophet of the word) sent from afar
(Voice of the word) their judgment true
(Prophet of the word) for me and you

Tuneless voices singing out
Distant bells are ringing now

Don’t keep us
I’m sleepless
It’s needless to say

In all that we know
There’s one thing that’s sure
You earn it
You learn it
You make your own road

In stars that are made
With debts never paid
They choose them
We lose them
Tomorrow, today

(Voice of the word) they say again
(Prophet of the word) we feel the pain
(Voice of the word) we go without
(Prophet of the word) it’s a talent drought
(Voice of the word) in them we trust
(Prophet of the word) they bite the dust
(Voice of the word) give us today
(Prophet of the word) a better way
