Change: one
Elect me as your president
Open this new chapter of life
History speaks through your blue eyes
A quality of strength in your make-up
You mediate the channels of the heart
Loosen the knots of red and white.
Enter with me, this majestic plane of power,
Discover your true feelings. Open,
Allow yourself to breathe
The warmth and happiness
Of your nation,
Your people,
Your power.
Celebrate,
The shedding of the skins:
Masquerade of colour,
Changes of the moon.
Lift me out of the glass-green night
And raise me as your flag
Spangled with mystery
To fly,
free in the brooding wind.
Open this new chapter of life
History speaks through your blue eyes
A quality of strength in your make-up
You mediate the channels of the heart
Loosen the knots of red and white.
Enter with me, this majestic plane of power,
Discover your true feelings. Open,
Allow yourself to breathe
The warmth and happiness
Of your nation,
Your people,
Your power.
Celebrate,
The shedding of the skins:
Masquerade of colour,
Changes of the moon.
Lift me out of the glass-green night
And raise me as your flag
Spangled with mystery
To fly,
free in the brooding wind.
