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.
