The Immigrants Song
There is a song that I was forced to hear
The voices were often lined with not love, but neither hate
This song is known far and near
This song was never recieved with much love, but neither hate
You would not know this song
Or would you?
I was a kid when I first came to know this song, I was young
This song handed me responsibilites, which came too soon
Documents, papers, money
This all screamed at me, telling me to take care of it
It spoke a language that mommy could not decipher, was not funny
All of it, my brain could not wrap around, yet made it fit
I could not tell the specific age
In which I had to think like an adult
But I know a lot of others were, and are, on the same page
My brain, instints, knowledge often collided and fought
Now that I am older than I am meant to be
I can see that I have helped me and my family
I hope that I will soon see
That this was all meant to be
