Renaissance Man Lyrics - 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 know that the things you can't see they are hard to believe 

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 

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 

Yes I heard that the dark bellied angel's 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 

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 

Where are we going to be, in 3033 

What's spinning round your brain 

Are you a renaissance man or are you a renaissance woman 

If you jump out an angel will give you wings 

(Moginie/Garrett/Rotsey)
