Lost Child (한)

Keep on waiting for this life to change But everything just stays the same Ancestors, hear my cry Lead me forward be my guide Lost child Who am I and what am I? I feel so lost inside I stand before the mirror, stare that person in the eye An incomplete identity from this cultural divide But still I drown in all the millions of tears they all have cried Out here on my own, so far away from home You all have each other, but I am all alone This weight inside my heart feels so heavy like a stone This sorrow and this anger I can feel it in my bones Reconciliation - is it possible to find? Or will going down this path cause me to lose my mind? What is left to lose when the world's been so unkind? Why am I so hesitant to step across that line? Lost child... This music flowed from you to me Then cut the cord and watch it bleed Discordant wailing of life's first breath Ripped apart, identity death Energy flowed through space and time And I felt you there in every line Your pain was there in every tear I'm part of you, you're part of me Social constructs kept us apart Emptiness tore up my heart There's silence on the other end There's too much grief for time to mend I listen to the empty space Imagine gazing at your face To see myself in someone else Imagine things I've never felt I step outside reality Suspended in a blissful dream Break the silence with a careless hum And let the music flow again Lost child...
