Everything Changed In

That Moment

The words spoken haltingly

Came down the line

Still I recall

The exact place and time

Certainties crushed

Beyond all postponement

Everything, everything,

Changed in that moment

All that you knew

And everything that you thought

Was broken in pieces

By the briefest report

No chance of rescue

No hope of atonement

Everything, everything

Changed in that moment

Everything changed

Beyond all repairing

A hopeless reaction

Confused and despairing

No second chances

No fresher’s enrolment

Everything changed

In that moment

Your hand is still shaking

As you put down the phone

No-one has ever

Felt so alone

A silent assault

By an unseen opponent

Everything, everything

Changed in that moment

Everything changed

Beyond all repairing

A hopeless reaction

Confused and despairing

No second chances

No fresher’s enrolment

Everything changed

In that moment

Everything changed

In that moment
