We are the promise
We are the dream
We are the raindrop that precedes a hurricane
We are the proclamation, the possibility
We are the river when you only see a stream
Singing hey now it’s time to go. Get your hands in the air and the feet off the floor.
Hey now it’s time to go, get your hands in the Air.
I’m calling everybody around the world tonight
Welcome to the party it’s a revolution
And I’m calling everybody we’ve just begun tonight
You are the future you’re a revolution
Calling all the hopeless ones,
For the lost who've come undone
Wherever you've been
Lets start it again
I’m calling everybody, I’m calling everybody
You’ve been made new Yea You are the revolution.
We are expectation, the opportunity
We are the beauty when You only see the pain
We are optimism, we stand and we believe
That we are redemption in the middle of the shame
Singing hey now it’s time to go
Get your hands in the air and the feet off the floor
Hey now it’s time to go, get your hands in the air
I’m calling everybody around the world tonight
Welcome to the party it’s a revolution
And I’m calling everybody we’ve just begun tonight
You are the future you’re a revolution
Calling all the hopeless ones,
For the lost who've come undone
Wherever you've been
Lets start it again
And I’m calling everybody, I’m calling everybody
You’ve been made new, Yea you are the revolution
Calling all the broken ones wherever you may be
It's time to rise up to your new identity
No longer can we stand idly by and just watch the war
when we're the one's who have the hope
this world is searching for.
We are not weak
We’ve been made strong
If you believe
Then Sing along
Hey now it’s time to go. Get your hands in the air and the feet off the floor.
Hey now it’s time to go, get your hands in the Air
I’m calling everybody around the world tonight
Welcome to the party it’s a revolution
And I’m calling everybody we’ve just begun tonight
You are the future you’re a revolution
Calling all the hopeless ones,
For the lost who've come undone
Wherever you've been
Lets start it again
I’m calling everybody, I’m calling everybody
You’ve been made new Yea you are the revolution

Behind the Song:“I was in the Dominican Republic and heard kids singing a song with the lyric: ‘I’m a promise. I’m a dream. I’m a possibility’ and I thought, ‘That’s what people need to remember…that God promises to finish every good work that He begins.’ So, I came home and started writing the lyric for ‘Revolution.’ The idea is to not to say there’s a revolution going on, but you yourself are the revolution. When you start believing that you are a promise, that you are a possibility, that you are the raindrop that precedes the hurricane, when you begin to believe in those types of things, then you are quite literally the revolution yourself. What I really love about that song more than anything is the bridge. It says what the whole record is about: ‘We are not weak. We’ve been made strong. If you believe, then sing along.’ It’s like a rallying cry. I love that because I think that really speaks to where we are, and it also speaks to the confidence that comes with walking in your calling and knowing that God has put you there for a reason.” - Jason Roy
