He fought through a war
Helping his clan
I forgot the war
Not giving a damn
Searching the woods for family that night Searching my mind for anything right
I’ve never had to look for freedom
He crossed a thousand miles to learn a language he did not know
I crossed no land yet his language I do not know
Remember the past he says
I can’t I say
I was never meant to be there
Join me here I say
I can’ t
He says
I was never meant to be here
