Script 2
We thought we knew
the world we were born into
We thought we understood the rules.
What we know now is that everything can change
Traditions
Nations
Truths
Nothing is safe in the turmoil between progress and destruction.
Here in the streets
we dream of tomorrow
as in hell,
they dream of heaven
So we look to you in power
To harness this… force
and write the rules for this new world.
What will you envision?
What will you dream of?
As tomorrow is racing towards us
What world will you build?
