If you knew where i came from,
you’d understand these streaks of pain.
if you knew where i came from,
you’d see the pain, the anguish, the helplessness.
If you knew where i came from,
you’d know what it means to see pain and what it means to see triumph.
If you knew where i came from,
you’d know what it’s like to have life turned into a nightmare,
the kind you couldn’t wake up from, the kind you couldn’t escape, the kind that left a pain and confusion so inexplicable
If you knew where i came from, you’d understand.
If you knew where I came from, you’d see the streaks and hues of pain painted across my heart.
You’d see the confusion of trying to understand this nightmare but somehow find and keep my sanity.
If you knew where I came from, you’d understand the pain and pride.
If you knew where i came from,
you’d know we’re a people of love,a people of peace, a people of pride.
If you knew where i came from, you’d understand the pride in our growth, our love, our resilience.
If you knew where i came from, you’d know and understand why we remember.
Why we remember, unite and renew.
