I am a foreigner
I don’t know my name in this tongue
I’m glad to be alive here, I’d say
But it’s hard to say
I have my family near
We dance together all day!
That is foreign here, I heard
Those are foreign words
My father took me out to observe
Evasion
Eyes pressed in
Pretending they see no life
Stumbling away from every living thing
Yells
Nothing withheld
Until one breaks the other’s shell
It makes me want to run back to my mother’s arms
Tension
Feel the tension
Every single place I’ve been
It sings and somehow everybody listens
Listen!!!
We can’t read this contradiction
Let us in, LET US IN LORD!
Oh to be a learned citizen
Oh to be, OH! to understand!
But I am a foreigner..maybe it’s all for nought
I hate to be lost all day, but I will today
Once again
Keep me in
Slow success
Amen.
