It's the old classic song from Supertramp "Fool's Overture"
For you younglings that don't know this song the words start in at about 5 minutes.
Listen to them. Especially in the context of what has happened the last few years.

It's talking about everybody sleeping, and prophets crying out, the island sinking, calling the man a fool, and people laughing, and calling everybody from there sleep, and leading them all home.

I loved this song as teen, and I hadn't heard it for years and I immediately thought of Ron Paul and what he has been trying to do in waking people up, and how he was scorned by so many people when all he spoke was the truth.

I listened to this song as a teen as well. I love it, and you're right. Of course, that was only 7 years ago for me ;)

I believe Fool's Overture was actually written about Winston Churchill wasn't it?

Actually, I am pretty sure it's was designed to be about Jesus Christ.

Some of the words

"History Records"
"Born on the wings of time"
"Called the man a fool"
"stripped him of his pride"
"Everyone was was laughing up until the day died"
"Still he is calling us out of our sleep"
"He waits in silence to lead us all home"
