Play sample

Mark Stuart as PETROV

PETROV:
FROM THE STREET I HEARD YOU CALLING
A REBEL'S VOICE – IT GOT TO ME
I COULD FEEL A STRONG WIND BLOWING
CHANGE WAS COMING

I SAW THE PEOPLE DRAWN INTO YOU
I SAW THE LIGHT COMING DOWN IN STREAMS
WORDS OF FIRE IN THE HEART OF DARKNESS
A STRANGER FULL OF DREAMS

PETROV:
JESUS, OUR HERO
GIVE US ANSWER – YOU'RE OUR LEADER
YOU GO, WE'LL FELLOW
YOU'VE GOT VISION – YOU'RE DESTINY

DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S A DANGEROUS MISSION
SOME CAN HURT YOU FOR THE WORDS YOU SAY
LOVE'S A BEACON, BUT IT AIN'T NO WEAPON
WHEN TROUBLE'S COMING

YOU MAKE 'EM THINK WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO
KINGS AND QUEENS AND THE POWERS THAT BE
I GOT YOUR BACK WHEN PEOPLE RIP YOU
CAUSE YOU GOT WHAT THEY NEED

PETROV:
JESUS, OUR HERO
GIVE US ANSWER – YOU'RE OUR LEADER
YOU GO, WE'LL FOLLOW
YOU'VE GOT VISION – YOU'RE OUR DESTINY

JESUS, OUR HERO
MAN OF PROMISE – WE'VE BEEN WAITING
TEACH US WHAT YOU KNOW
HOW TO DO IT – YOU'RE OUR DESTINY

MAGGIE:
YOU'RE A REBEL WITHOUT A COUNTRY
YOU'RE A MAN OF MYSTERY
SUCH A CRAZY THING YOU'RE PREACHING
THAT LOVE CAN SET US FREE
SET US FREE

PETROV:
JESUS, OUR HERO
GIVE US ANSWERS – YOU'RE OUR LEADER
YOU GO, WE'LL FELLOW
YOU'VE GOT VISION – YOU'RE OUR DESTINY

JESUS, OUR HERO
MAN OF PROMISE – WE'VE BEEN WAITING
TEACH US WHAT YOU KNOW
HOW TO DO IT- YOU'RE OUR HERO
YOU'RE OUR LEADER – YOU'RE OUR DESTINY
