Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
Beautiful, strong and pure
Don’t let the world bring you down based on
Your gender, race, faith, sexual orientation
Or your political affiliation
You’re unique one of kind
With a strong conscious mind
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us
Your kindness brings people together
When things don’t seem to be clear
Because it’s in your nature
To love, an emotion
That feels the heart with joy
But also great sorrow
When you lose someone dear making you hollow
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Stand in front of the mirror
See the reflection of a conqueror
One who has won battles of discrimination
Stood up to oppression
Sided truth during adversity
With every fiber of your ability
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God
You playing small
Does not serve the world
It only makes the hateful stronger
Because they have the power
To inflict pain
Cause you took the back seat again
Which is a shame
There is no one to blame
But you, for not standing up when we counted on you
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you
Your vulnerability is the essence of your humanity
Having the fear of failure
Makes you rise higher
Speak up for those that matter
That is the strength of your vulnerability
A strong asset of your personality
We were all meant to shine as children do
Full of life and happiness
Filled with curiosity and bravery
As well as innocence and creativity
Being an inspiration to a nation
Following our emotions
Cause we were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us
It’s not just in some of us
It’s in everyone
And as we let our own light shine
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
Because at the end of the day we may be different but we are still the same
Burning inside with a flame
To make the world a better place
At a continued pace
Together, as we are liberated from our own fear
Our presences automatically liberates others.
