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?
