There are people running round, making changes

They are young, and they are loud, and they are amazing

On rising rooftops, in dirty basements

There are people running round making changes

There are students deep in books, papers stacking, anxieties rising

to be cashed in later for a dream born of summer blood

and sweat and tears and any species of breakdown

They trade this all in for something more profound

There are people running round, making changes

Each generation moving forward and exploding in bright life

the generation before facing rest and standing back

as the new ones begin

There are people running round making changes

We are stepping forward, stepping up, getting free and setting out

There are people running round, making changes

The older generations that pass, revolutions burning in their hands

will be remembered and always known

to the revolutionaries to come,

and burn and light they will for others

and fade away themselves , to make room for the new wonders

The new wanderers, rowdy rioters, makers and runners

Who are people running round making changes
