about

A song about being Asian and American in New York City in 2022.

Originally produced for Self Evident: Asian America's Stories (selfevidentshow.com/episode-29)

lyrics

I don’t know if another unity song
is gonna help us break down what’s gone so wrong
Can’t see to Heaven on the stairway
Can’t run from Hell on the subway
Can’t hold a candle to
the pretense of defense, of steps that go beyond

Everybody wants you to take a stand
when you wake up with the words taken out of your hand
and go to work, without caring how
the train tracks will stare at you now
Step back, but don’t turn back
We still gotta make a sound

But I don’t need to know where I belong
I don’t need the world to hear this song
I just hope you’ll show me how you get along
So that you and I
can buy staying free, with no guarantee
