Wicked | “Do Us Good” by Amanda Gorman | Poem Visual

Описание: Fellow Ozians! Amanda Gorman's new poem “Do Us Good” inspired by @wickedmovie is out now. Watch and listen! 🫧🧹

Are we born wicked
Or do we have wickedness thrust upon us

Are we born bad
Or brave

There's a world we miss when we misbehave
But we miss just as much when we misconstrue
When we distrust what is different
And detest what is new

History is written by the victors
And villains are embittered by the forcible and the few

But through how we live
Our children learn what we earn when we're earnest
And what we forge when we forgive

Only with decency do we discover people are not born evil
But born equal

Green not with envy
But what we envision in each other

A sentimental mankind finding ourselves even in the dark
There is a goodness that knows in our hearts
No one is wicked at birth

We are born to light the wick of the earth
We are all that girl

When something changes within us something changes in this vast world
We will never be the same

This feeling fervid as a flame has a name
Un-adulterated loving
Rushing
Flooding

Together we'll stare down the emerald tower
We will not cower
We will not let our power take over us
But let ourselves take back our power

We won't just say we're sorry now
Rejoicify that we're glad and grateful just to be seen and not listened to
We'll dream
Soar into the blue
Rise up to a new reality
Because defending the good is how we defy gravity

So if you dare to find us look to our west turned eyes
Everyone won't do good deeds
But all deserve the chance to try to be understood
As we should
And if this they would mourn wicked
then let this WICKED DO US GOOD

Amanda Gorman
