"Hail a day so long expected
Hail the year of full
release
Zion's walls are now
erected
And the watchman's
published piece
Throughout Shiloh's
wide dominion
Hear the trumpets
loudly roar
Babylon is fallen is
fallen is fallen
Babylon is fallen to
rise no more."

Alexa, play "Move Mitch, move out the way" by
Rafael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
Stacy Abrams really needs a national holiday created for her. She brought in so many new voters & is directly responsible for Georgia's blue swing
Thank you Stacy, Thank you Georgia."
