I heard a rumour of a golden age
   And the stage is gettin? set
   I heard a rumour of a golden age
   The stage is gettin? set
   I heard a rumour of a golden age
   In the song, on a screen and printed page
   And all the world will be a stage
   And the stage is gettin? set
  
   I?ve seen the glow of a golden dawn
   And the dawn is comin? through
   I?ve seen the glow of a golden dawn
   And the dawn is comin? through
   I?ve seen the glow of a golden dawn
   And all will wait to gaze upon
   And though the hour is hard and long
   The dawn is coming through
  
   I felt the wind behind my heels
   And it feels good to me
   I felt the wind behind my heels
   And it feels good to me
   I felt the wind behind my heels
   My soul fired up like catherine wheels
   And I?m never gonna forget how it feels
   And it feels good to me
  
   I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
   I saw a ship come sailing in
   I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
   I saw a ship come sailing in
   I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
   Said "lord, I surrender" and fell on my knees
   And loving rose in the heart of me
   And the ship came sailing in
  
   I heard a rumour of a golden age
