I Knew It Was My Moment

When the stars were effulgent

And the world was reticent

When the air was dolorous

And the people were timorous

I knew this was my moment

To stand against the malevolent

Against those who cause terror

And still walk without any demur

To wake those in trance

And to fight by joining hands

Not wishing upon the dreams

Life isn’t always what it seems

I knew this was my moment

To stand for the insolvent

To battle for the rights

And make the future bright

To wipe off discrimination

And move on as a nation

I knew this was my moment

To save all from the torment
