Missy Higgins - Hidden Ones Lyrics

She's holding a torch in her hand
Pointing towards heaven
And on the streets below her people living out of trash cans
Are trying to believe she's got a plan

We dug a hole under the sea
But nobody knows how to stop the bleed
There's 999 channels on my TV
And I still have no idea what to believe

But there is a choice
Follow the leader or use your voice
Cause this'll just keep up until we make a loud noise
And the hidden ones speak up

Over the water to the east
Two million in a square refuse to sleep
'Till every pleading voice is heard
And all the world has seen their revolution
Pull a king down to his knees

Cause they made a choice
Not to follow their leader but use one voice
Shows ordinary people can make a really loud noise
When the hidden ones speak up
Oh the hidden ones
Oh the hidden ones

He started drinking too young
Tucked in his jeans now is a gun
And the stories of his ancestors
They will never be sung
For he's going where they do not see the sun

Ah but look! There's a circus in town!
Watch as the lion eats the clown!
Tell me who is out there leading on the ground?
Who will catch the boy before he drowns
If they're busy putting shows on for the crowd?

Oh there is a choice
You can follow the leader or use your voice
Cause this'll just keep up until we make a loud noise
And the hidden ones speak up...
