Change Is Coming
Hymn composed by
Molly BajgotContextual information
“Change is Coming” uplifts words from queer Black author adrienne maree brown’s book Emergent Strategy: “Change is coming, what do we need to imagine to be prepared?” I wrote this song in 2017, a time when much personal and political change was occurring to resource myself and my communities.

Change is coming, what do we need to imagine?
Change is coming, what do we need to imagine?

To be prepared, you know I’m scared,

Yes I know, from brokenness there’s whole.
