Illuminate and Be the Light like Amanda Gorman


View the video with  Amanda Gorman  

With each new dawn, we encounter the reality of beginnings and endings. 
Where or who do we look to find our light? In the voice of a 22-year-old, an inspired poet, Amanda Gorman her words give cause to Be the Light. 

In the song I Rise Up, sung by Andra Day, her lyrics are the Gospel of hope to all 

In the poetry of Maya Angelou, Still I Rise, the clarion call sounds to take up your bed of brokenness, your history, your shame, and all that holds your hostage, "Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise."

Amanda Gorman Ode to Auld Ang Syne 2021 Goodbye ✨


Listen to New Days Lyric

✨ It’s time to welcome 2022 with Amanda Gorman’s (@amandascgorman) energy and her new, never-before-read poem. ✨ 
“New Day’s Lyric” 
May this be the day We come together. 
Mourning, we come to mend, 
Withered, we come to weather, 
Torn, we come to tend, 
Battered, we come to better. 
Tethered by this year of yearning, 
We are learning 
That though we weren’t ready for this, 
We have been readied by it. 
We steadily vow that no matter 
How we are weighed down, 
We must always pave a way forward. T
his hope is our door, our portal. 
Even if we never get back to normal, 
Someday we can venture beyond it,
 To leave the known and take the first steps. 
So let us not return to what was normal, 
But reach toward what is next. 
What was cursed, we will cure. 
What was plagued, we will prove pure. 
Where we tend to argue, we will try to agree, 
Those fortunes we forswore, now the future we foresee, 
Where we weren’t aware, we’re now awake; 
Those moments we missed 
Are now these moments we make, 
The moments we meet, 
And our hearts, once all together beaten, 
Now all together beat. 
Come, look up with kindness yet, 
For even solace can be sourced from sorrow. 
We remember, not just for the sake of yesterday, 
But to take on tomorrow. 
We heed this old spirit, 
In a new day’s lyric, 
In our hearts, we hear it: 
For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne. 
Be bold, sang Time this year, 
Be bold, sang Time, 
For when you honor yesterday, 
Tomorrow ye will find. 
Know what we’ve fought 
Need not be forgot nor for none. 
It defines us, binds us as one, 
Come over, join this day just begun. 
For wherever we come together, 
We will forever overcome.
