This changes everything
Here and Now,
on this table
in deep pain
there is no going back
This changes everything
a broken heart
a fallen man
a life together
is no more
This changes everything
a choice
made in darkness
brings night
across the sky
Oppression
for twenty years
This changes everything
a war
a birth
a death
and all at once,
a nation mourns
This changes everything
a threat destroyed
a celebration
This changes everything
twins born in secret
a marriage torn apart
This changes everything
liberty dies
with thunderous applause
This changes everything
a battle
between former friends
This Changes everything
the long night has begun
here and now
there is no going back
