And the place was burning
Where once my cradle stood
Memories still yearning

For what my childhood took
In peaceful shelter I may rest
Just instincts of salvation

O`deviate from the within
But hate I may not feel
A nations decay within my eyes

Imploring still in vague seclusion
A tear from a child's eye- obeying still
But fate just ties together

What's my flesh ?
And what my skin ?
What my privilege ?

And what a sin ?
Have I come to stay
What I can never be ?

Have I come to beg
For a new identity ?
....to blame...

O` I have tried to fly
But I did not have wings
I have tried to speak

But I did not know how
Like a new-born child
I have tried to trust

Reaching out
But my cradle burning
A nations decay within my eyes

Imploring still in vague seclusion
A tear from a child's eye- obeying still
But fate just ties together

Just memories today
Yes, I exist, but do I also live ?
I must deviate from the within

But hate I may not feel
