There Won't Be Trumpets Lyrics - Singles - Mandy Patinkin

Smug little men with a smug little schemes 

They forgot one thing 

The play isn't over by a long shot yet 

There are heroes in the world 

Prince's and heroes in the world 

And one of them will save us 

We can see, we can see 

There won't be trumpets or bolts of fire 

To say he's coming 

No Roman candles, no angels choir 

No sound of distant drumming 

He may not be the Cavalcade 

Tall and graceful, fair and strong 

Doesn't matters just as long as 

He comes on home 

But not with trumpets or lightning flashing 

Or shining armor 

It maybe daring, he maybe dashing 

Or maybe he's a farmer 

We can wait, watch another day 

He has lots of hills to climb 

And the hero doesn't come 

Till the nick of time 

The vote for trumpets or whistles tooting 

That guarantee him 

There won't be trumpets, but sure as shooting 

You'll know him when you see him 

Don't know when, don't know where 

And I can't even say but I care 

All I know is some Meridian turn 

Is having some flair 

You won't need trumpets 

There are no trumpets 

Who needs trumpets
