So dear colleagues, teacher and some others eavesdroppers of this fantastic blog, we want to start this first post of 2012 by wishing you a good year. We hope that you have received the gift that you want in Christmas, if you haven't received what you want, well something wrong you should have done during the last year.
Then as people often say " New year, new life" and to begin we change our old headphones for a new headphones in design to save energy.
But as always a task must be done, the same task of all the weeks talk about something related to the English class, well this week we don't have any reason to complain becaus our amazing teacher gives us a list of songs to chose one and talk about it. Forget it, you all know it, you all probably must have that to do it.
So to begin as obvious we have chosen the song "It´s a new day" from that wanna be, the Will.i.am.
The song "It´s a new day" talks as we said in the class about the raise of Barack Obama to the place of president of the U.S.A.
Since 1609 until 1807 that black people were taken to be slaves in the U.S.A. ,that person and their succeding generations was discriminated, until in 1963 Martin Luther king say "I have a dream". Since the death of Matin Luther King the mentality change but the Negro never had the same opportunities in live that the white persons. So the time passes and in 2008 a black men becomes the first black president of the U.S.A. With this achieved a new world of opportunities was opened to black people because 500 years later a black person had the same opportunity as a white person. So in november7, 2008 the album of Will.i.am was launched and the third track was " It's a new day".
"It's a new day" talks about the day when Barack Obama reached to the place of President of the U.S.A and it was a achieved to all the mix of races in the U.S.A not only to black person but to all persons who lives there, something that happened after a long battle for the rights of all the races.
I went asleep last night
Tired from the fight
I've been fighting for tomorrow
All my life
Yea I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Have finally came true
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's been a long time coming
Up the mountain kept runnin'
Souls of freedom kept hummin'
Channeling Harriet Tubman
Kennedy, Lincoln, and King
We gotta invest in that dream
It feels like we're swimming upstream
It feels like we're stuck inbetween
A rock and a hard place,
We've been through the heartaches
And lived through the darkest days
If you and I made it this far,
Well then hey, we can make it all the way
And they said no we can't
And we said yes we can
Remember it's you and me together
I woke up this morning
Feeling alright
I've been fightin' for tomorrow
All my life
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Have finally came true
It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
It's a new day!
It's been a long time waitin'
Waiting for this moment
It's been a long time praying
Praying for this moment
We hope for this moment
And now that we own it
For life I will hold it
And I ain't gonna let it go
It's for fathers, our brothers,
Our friends who fought for freedom
Our sisters, our mothers,
Who died for us to be in this moment
Stop and cherish this moment
Stop and cherish this time
It's time for unity
For us and we
That's you and me together
I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Have finally came true
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling alright
'Cause we weren't fighting for nothing
And the soldiers weren't fighting
For nothing
No, Martin wasn't dreaming for nothing
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothing
And children weren't crying for nothing
It's a new day
It's a new day
A new day
It's a new day
It's a new day!
