Change
Taylor Swift Lyrics
And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again and
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
For us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah
So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now
Find things they never found
They might be bigger
But we're faster and never scared
You can walk away, say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can beat this
Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come
For us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah
Tonight we'll stand, get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up champions tonight
It was the night things changed
Can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up
'Cause we never gave in
And we'll sing hallelujah, we sang hallelujah
Hallelujah

This song really hits hard especially nowadays in the Philippines. We deserve the governance that we've been longing for, we're still hoping that things will change. "Only the young", "Long live" and "change" says what I wanted to scream.

The fact that this song was originally about Taylor and her old label Big Machine finally breaking into the industry and now I interpret “the revolution” as her breaking away from that very same label with her re-recordings! Singing hallelujah that Taylor finally owns this masterpiece again 💛
✨Taylor’s version✨
Reading this makes me so happy 🥲

@warda niati Taylor left big machine, moved to a new one, then right when Taylor planned to release her new album which she owns EVERY copyright from it (Lover), the ceo of big machine SOLD debut, fearless, speak now, red, 1989, reputation to a sketchy manager. the manager is the same person that was one of the people that underestimated taylor when she was still in her early career. now THAT manager owns all the copyright of the six albums. The only thing Taylor owns in those six albums is the songwriting composition, which makes her allow to rerecord it
