Sparkles

I feel good inside Cause I'm still learning How to be my kind I feel good inside Fact or fiction I'll always be alive It's not a matter of feeling comfortable The silence kept under the fold Of my eyes The sparkle of champagne The red glow of my face Brings out the yellow of my race I feel good inside I'd rather stay inside Some might say I don't belong Some might say I'm far from "home" But I was born here Haven't we progressed Generations of fear Can we let them rest It's bliss I find comfort in my shell We're born the same in this hell Different things, the same old shit The hate won't faze me one bit Tell me where to start I'll be sure to play my part To all the fathers before me To all the mothers who crossed the sea Love can test the sands of time But when will it all be fine
