Same As You
Even though we now have paying jobs
They're not what we expected
The experience and skills we brought
Were thoughtlessly rejected
But our children dance and sing another song
Their homeland is forgotten
Here's where they belong
How can we merge our past life with the new
We know we can't ever become the same as you
However hard we struggle here
We know we can't return
To the towns where we were born
Now all blackened and burned
But our children play at school and are quickly making friends
They're seeing the world now
Through a different lens
How can we merge our past life with the new
We know we can't ever become the same as you
We want our children to remember
The history that we share
It's important that we keep our customs
Beliefs and prayers
But the young ones are forgetting and living for today
They see new world freedoms
And only want to play
How can we merge our past life with the new
We know we can't ever become the same as you
They're not what we expected
The experience and skills we brought
Were thoughtlessly rejected
But our children dance and sing another song
Their homeland is forgotten
Here's where they belong
How can we merge our past life with the new
We know we can't ever become the same as you
However hard we struggle here
We know we can't return
To the towns where we were born
Now all blackened and burned
But our children play at school and are quickly making friends
They're seeing the world now
Through a different lens
How can we merge our past life with the new
We know we can't ever become the same as you
We want our children to remember
The history that we share
It's important that we keep our customs
Beliefs and prayers
But the young ones are forgetting and living for today
They see new world freedoms
And only want to play
How can we merge our past life with the new
We know we can't ever become the same as you
