Manhattan Transfer - Notes From The Underground Lyrics
Beneath the marbled halls of pretoriaThere's the faintest sound rising from the undergroundBehind the prison walls poets fantasizeVoices lost are found captive in the undergroundThe dream is still alive, immune to their commandsBravery abounds steadfast in the undergroundUntil the day arrives, children understandFather's safe and sound living in the undergroundLook to the days aheadGather your prayers like rosesThink of the life that waits after the battle's overLook to the land beyond youOut where the fields are goldenThere will be gifts untold, yes after the battle's overIf i should not return, know that you are my pleasureShelter yourselves, my treasures, until the battle's overThe dream is still alive, immune to their commandsWe are pound for pound stronger in the undergroundThe longer we survive the less they can withstandTime will turn around over to the underground10 miles from soweto under a thorn tree's branchesShanty will be no longer after the battle's overSomewhere a breeze is drifting over a blue-green oceanThere will be time for beauty after the battle's overChildren, i must be going - cherish your mother's memoryNow turn these words to ashes antes que seja tardeThe dream is still alive, immune to their commandsTime will turn around over to the undergroundThe longer we survive the less they can withstandTime will turn around over to the undergroundBeneath the marbled halls where the power liesThere's the faintest sound rising from the undergroundBehind the prison walls poets fantasizeVoices lost are found captive in the undergroundThe dream is still alive, immune to their commandsBravery abounds steadfast in the undergroundUntil the day arrives, children understandFather's safe and sound living in the underground
