[ Featuring Joci ]
I am most uncomfortable with the way
They look at me
Their faces already say so many things, mum
Why can't I live the same life they live?
Why do they need to do this to me
What's wrong with me?
I just want one more day without hearing things
About my race or my language
I never want to spell my name again
Or try to explain
In what kind of god I finally believe in
How can I survive, mum?
Please tell me, how did you survive?
I can hear their voice
Even if they don't speak
Sometimes just thoughts
Can cut quiet deep
Hurdles we overcome remind us
Where we're from
Break free from hated chains
And be proud of yourself
Ohhhhh of yourself
It's a letter to my girl
To be prepared
For the force of the words
They will lose carelessly
Here is what I would like for you to know
Between the world and your soul
There is nothing that can stop
Loving you whole
I can feel the change
Breaking through the crowd
Praying for a better world
Where our color doesn't count
Where the sun starts to rise
We're standing hand in hand
Willing to break the endless shame
It's a letter to my girl
To be prepared
For the force of the words
They will lose carelessly
Here is what I would like for you to know
Between the world and your soul
There is nothing that can stop
Loving you whole
Stand tall (Fight for the freedom of all)
Don't fall (Wrecking down the wall)
Be brave (I know I will be the change)
Love will lead the way (Today)
It's a letter to my girl
To be prepared
For the force of the words
They will lose carelessly
Here is what I would like for you to know
Between the world and your soul
There is nothing that can stop
Loving you whole
