There were plenty of highlights at today’s inauguration for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. However, the one that surprised us most was the powerful poem read by National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman. As the 22-year-old read her poem The Hill We Climb, we all got chills.
It was pretty gosh darn perfect. The only thing it was missing was some musical accompaniment. Not anymore. Jason Mraz tickled the ivories to her words, and now it is perfect.
Hopefully, the two of them can go into the studio and record this as a single. Whenever we need encouragement, we can just listen to their duet, and the world will seem like a better place. Just like that feeling we got today as we watched them usher in this new administration.
