woke up and yet again something isn't right
there is talk about dancing
on the barricades but someone special is on my mind
sure enough seems simple but what can I say
there's a million things worth fighting for, like making you stay

you can call me romantic, you can call me what you will
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?

and baby yet again my heart's still red
but it is hard having the energy
to fight when everything is spinning around in my head
sure enough seems simple but what can I do
there's a million songs about politics, related to you

you can call me romantic, you can call me what you will
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?

keep on keepin' on, gotta keep the dream alive
keep on keepin' on, gotta make it not just try
keep on keepin' on, gotta keep the dream alive
keep on keepin' on, gotta make it not just try

you can call me romantic, you can call me what you will
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?

let's make history right now...
