“We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west/ we will rise from the windswept northeast/ where our forefathers first realized revolution/ We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states,/ we will rise from the sunbaked south” -Amanda Gorman, “The Hill We Climb”

 

When you say ¨we will¨ you catch the eye

It's like a bus flying

You would look too

Right?


When I hear ¨I'll try¨ it'll pass right by

It's like if a piece of dust passes by

You wouldn't see it

Right?


So I will walk the path of glory 

Hold my head up high 

Walk as mighty as a beast


I will not cry as I bleed

As my enemies punch 

As the victims plead 

Their lives being hanged like a rusty shield

That rust will glow

It will be more than you ever will know

It will show its true colors


They say a butterfly can not see color

It can not see itself

other people can

So I will tell people

They are beautiful as a butterfly

Pashnit like a bee trying to get pollen

Brave like a mouse grabbing cheese from a trap

Stronger than a bears roar


I will stand strong

I will not fall and lay down in the dust

I will stay up straight

Head held high

Shoulders abroad

Back straight 

I will not stay silent

I will not fail just to fall


I will be the best I can

I will see the world in different eyes than my own

I will walk and I will stand


I will not fall

I will not fail

I will not crumble

I will not split apart


Even If I fail

Even If I fall

Even If I crumble

Even If I split apart


I will get back up

I will brush myself off 

I will stand up high

I will say


 ¨you did not phase me¨

¨you did not touch me¨

¨for I am stronger than a bear’s roar¨

¨for I am beautiful like a butterfly¨

¨for I am Brave like a mouse grabbing cheese from a trap¨

¨for I am Pashnit like a bee trying to get polen¨

¨bow before me as I am stronger and will not fail or shall I fall¨

¨my enemies will fall for their defeat¨

¨I am there superior¨


They will stand strong

They will fight

They will hold up their heads high even though…


I will defeat them 

I will stand victorious

I will be the one standing last on the battlefield

They will be the defeated one


We are ourself

We have to stand strong

We will be victorious
