Renaissance Man - Midnight Oil

Well, I told you about the forest and trees and the chlorophyll green

Yes, I told you the birds will endure flutter wings dance on leaves

Hold onto dreams, hold onto dreams, tonight

Well, I told you about the high pressure cell coming down on the breeze

And I sense that the things you can’t see they are hard to believe

So, hold onto dreams, hold onto dreams, tonight

A new world order has been formed

Between the cheque book and the dawn

A new renaissance man is born

Renaissance man, are you ready?

Renaissance man, yeah

Renaissance man, are you ready?

See what a world that you can make

Well, I heard about the spirit of life is it flickering still

Ooh, I heard that the dark bellied angels come running up the hill

Hold onto dreams, hold onto dreams, tonight

Smash and grab the women and child

All the souls are growing wild

Stripped so bare well the universe

Stares it’s so close to home

That we got to share with you

So many genuine things surround

You wild weather man well it still confounds

You cast away the greed and death machine

And bytes and abacus and lights

And hold onto your dreams, tonight

(Hold onto dreams)

Hold onto your dreams, tonight

So you found a hard won friend

To hold your hand and hold your head

A new renaissance to defend

Hold onto dreams, hold onto dreams, tonight

Hold onto dreams, hold onto dreams, tonight

Hold onto dreams, hold onto dreams, tonight

Renaissance man, are you ready?

Renaissance man, yeah

Renaissance man, are you ready?

See what a world that you can make

(Renaissance man)

Where are we going to be?

(Renaissance man)

In three thousand thirty three

(Renaissance man)

What’s spinning round your brain?

(See what a world that you can make)

(Renaissance man)

Are you a renaissance man?

(Renaissance man)

Are you a renaissance woman?

If you jump out an angel will give you wings

See what a world that you can make

Renaissance man

See what a world that you can make
