Feel the calling of a miracle In the presence of the word Now we hold the right to rearrange How the stories can be heard In the beginning is the future And the future is at hand I'll be calling voices of Africa Be the rhythm to the plan From the Congo to Lenasia Be the writing on the wall I'll be calling the colors of India See the Asian life explode [Chorus] Head into the headlight Don't turn from the rain There's a fire raging somewhere near like a longtime friend who's Seen it darker than ebony Take off on the turnpike (Asking for the first call) Give me more of the same (Asking for a song) There's a fire burning in my heart again I'll be calling the dragons of China See the dancers of the Nile See the wings of change are on display This revelation mine Feel the calling of the miracle In the presence of the word [Chorus] Feel the calling of a miracle The revelation mine
