About Opus Nuovo:
Since 2019, Boston Children’s Chorus has been developing an exciting commissioning project called Opus Nuovo, with the goal of creating new choral works representative of our community and championing the work of composers outside of the eurocentric western canon. We look forward to continuing this important work in each future season of BCC—creating a choral canon that is truly reflective of our singers and our diverse communities.
Opus Nuovo is supported in part by a grant from TD Charitable Foundation.
Lyrics:
Thrive, thrive, thrive.
I’m gonna live in this world my way,
Ain’t no type of ism gonna get in my way.
Gonna make this world better for the next by living all of what I am meant to be, cause we never will see inclusivity
if we don’t first believe.
Watch me thrive.
No rock’s too tall.
Won’t you tell ‘em ‘bout me.
Roadblocks won’t stall.
Tell ‘em ‘bout me.
Ain’t no obstacle I can’t beat.
Ceilings sitting high.
Tell ‘em ‘bout me.
Gates kept inside, hahahahaha!
Won’t you tell ‘em ‘bout me.
Watch me thrive.
I’m not going to be stopped now.
I can’t, I won’t, give up now.
Change comes soon and I know how.
Tell them I’m coming.
You’re not going to be stopped now.
You can’t, you won’t give up now.
Change comes soon and we know how.
We’re gonna laugh harder, love harder, live harder, leap farther.
I wanna watch you thrive.
