WHO I AM

Verse
1:
It’s been 25 years since
the end of the war
Did Vietnam win who’s keeping the score?
The wounds have healed yet the scars remain
Some of us too young to remember the pain
Now the communist are in control
The bloody flags are waving in the bitter cold
No freedom of speech no right to vote
That’s why we left in our fishing boats
No equality no human rights
Forced to escape we lost so many lives
So here we are in the U.S.
of A.
To start a new life it’s a brand new day
Bridge
Sometimes I wonder who I am?
Asian or American?
A lost generation searching for a home
Eager to be found like words in a poem
Chorus:
If
you know just how I feel
Raise your hands and nod
your head ( 2X)
Close your eyes and
visualize
In a perfect world we will unite
Verse
2:
Our parents had to work in restaurants
Paint them nails even mow the lawns
We ate free lunch in public schools
Looked down upon cause it was uncool
Made the best with what we’ve got
Just to have something meant a lot
My parents always say concentrate on your education
When you get sick drink your
herbal medication
Respect your elders finish your rice
Take pride in your culture and always think twice
So here we are in the U.S.
of A.
To start a new life in a
brand new way
Verse
3:
Who really knows what the future holds
It’s up to us we’re in control
You can sit back and watch
the world go by
Or take a risk and learn to fly
Spread your wings set yourself free
Anything possible, if you believe
Life’s too short to take the easy road
Take a chance let your dreams unfold
Let your heart lead the way
Look towards tomorrow not
yesterday
So here we are in the U.S.
of A.
To start a new life let’s lead the way.
