"New Day’s Lyric” | Amanda Gorman

Our hope is kept afloat in troubled times by this firecracker and beacon of light, Amanda Gorman. Our world is in good hands with fresh new growth like her to grace and guide us. 

Change Sings: a children's anthem by Amanda Gorman 

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.

Society is afraid of change

and no one wants to die

not now, from a tiny virus

not later from the world on fire
