Everything Is Everything (Songs Inspired by Lauryn Hill)

Everything Is Everything

By Amir W.

When I think about the world it’s a wonderful place, but when I’m sad I need space. When special days come around I always here joyful sounds, but there are many kids to play with at the playground when life will show more things will grow. All people will show other people respect and people in the future will know what will come next.

By Tahmair Lewis

AVA's Song about a Princess

SHE HAS GOLD HAIR

AND THEN SHE DYED IT BLACK

SHE HAS BLACK EYES

AND SHE WEARS A GOLDEN DRESS

SHE LIKES TO PLAY AT HER OWN HOUSE

AND SHE ALSO LIKES TO PLAY AT HER FRIEND’S HOUSE

SHE ALSO LIKES TO DRAW

SHE LIKES TO DRAW PICTURES OF PIGS, HORSES, TREES, AND PEOPLE

SHE LIKES TO SING

SHE LIKES TO SING ABOUT HERSELF

SHE LIKES TO EAT ASPARAGUS AND CARROTS

BUT SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO EXERCISE

Alana's Song About Her Friend Lillian

I’m going to Lillian’s house today

She likes to play

We have fun now

She loves dogs

I love dogs too

We play now

It’s time for me to go

I’ll see you tomorrow

At school Lillian

I’ll see you too Alana

We play at school

Lyfe… Not

The sun goes down

The stars comes out

And all I count

Was Then But Now

I’m beautiful

And I’ll always be the same

I’ll Be There To…

You’ll be the life of me, life for me

Someone that has the eyes to see, Eyes to see

And I decided you are too well for me,

well for me

So let’s do something amazing just to be

You and me

Turn the lights on now

Now we’ll finally be amazed

For the people to be great

Be great if you can

I don’t know what to say!

Say “My life is actually great.”

Well It’s actually really great

But I’ll stay with you and I can make,

Make you glad I came

The sun goes down

The stars comes out

And all I count

Was then but now

I’m beautiful

And I’ll Always Be The Same

I’ll be there too

I’ll be there too

You’ll be the life of me, life for me

Someone that has the eyes to see, Eyes to see

And I decided you are too well for me,

well for me

So let’s do something amazing just to be

You and me

Turn the lights on now

Now we’ll finally be amazed

For the people to be great

Be great if you can

I don’t know what to say!

Say “My life is actually great.”

Well It’s actually really great

But I’ll stay with you and I can make,

Make you glad I came

The sun goes down…

The stars come out…

But all I count…

Was then but now

I’m Beautiful

And I’ll always be the same…

I’ll Be There To…

Everything Is Everything

(After Lauryn Hill)

When I’m getting tired
of feeling scared and trying to pull off tiny acts of courage
I remember the ones, on bridges, in intersections
counting jelly beans to vote, getting locked away,
getting gone so we could be together
coming out and losing everything, and gaining love.
striking and losing everything, and gaining weekends
marching and gaining suffrage, but not for everyone
(Someday for everyone.)

When I’m getting tired
and I lose sight of my heart and can’t feel the light
I think of wonderful angry ladies chanting at Trump tower
of young Philadelphians shutting down intersections
and marching with all kinds of signs
and their/our beautiful defiant faces
and what it’s like to dance in America
on a Sunday afternoon, with everyone.
(More dancing with everyone.)

When I’m getting tired
and frustrated with threats and triggers and shivers,
I think of volunteer ladies making calls
and bonding with strangers on the phone|
about subjects that used to be taboo.
I think of turning to my neighbor on a rousing day
saying “That was a big moment.”
and her saying “Yeah, a big moment.”
And chanting “Yes we can” with everyone,
(And yes, we can, with everyone.)

Dear Germantown,

Thank you for your fireflies

punctuating church sermons on misty nights in June.

Thank you for your wetland cleaning the water and the air.

Thank you for the tiny blue butterflies of Wissahickon summer.

Thank you for the most adorable children I have ever seen in my life!

Thank you for the library being a Pokéstop!

Thank you for the blue mandala mural and the weeds growing up

through Germantown High while it waits to be something new.

Thank you for the Wyck house, where wisteria was named.

Thank you for folk songs in the Meetinghouse, for candled cold evenings.

Thank you for the corridor of pink petals in the spring.

Thank you for President Obama in Vernon Park eight Octobers ago,

it was a beautiful day, I got sunburned and smitten.

Thank you for cutting down my inner nonsense by at least half.

Thank you for my friend’s daughter’s prom party at the Black Writer’s Museum,

her miracle baby all dressed up.

Thank you for inviting me, thank you for including me,
thank you for cracking me open and letting me start again.



Facts About Germantown by Amir

Germantown holds the house that helped slaves escape slavery.  The name of this house is called the Johnson house. This is one of the underground rail road station. The people who lived in this house were Quakers. They worked with Europeans and freed the slaved. They wanted to abolish slavery so every African American.

Oh Germantown

The best time is always spent at Vernon Park

Or when I go to the library and read to dark

Maybe it’s the creepy historical landmarks

But with all the people I don’t know where to start

I love to see the Bantams play

Or go to play where the veterans lay

Maybe it’s walking through Fair Hill all-day

But Germantown’s the best that’s all I can say

Ode to Germantown

Thank you for the ancient libraries

And the buildings filled with scents of the past

Thank you for the air smelling of sweet and honey

And always putting the people first and yourself last

Thank you for being part of the City of Brotherly Love

That contains tall, great schools of wisdom

Thank you for the many arts, whether they are abstracts of confusion or sketches of doves

That always keep me away from the thing called boredom

Thank you for keeping me on my toes and teaching me how to strive

It is a skill I need to break my limits and open new doors

Thank you for letting me stay here, letting me feel alive

It is a privilege of pleasure, nothing more
