There was a day,
It was one day...
We were among the lost avenues,
Or better yet,
Lost among the avenues...
Of folk
Who knew no better than to accept who we were.
It was a child's simple mind
That gave direction
To the diction
I now lay before you.
And even as we turned east,
Fighting the bitter twist of events,
Fate led us to the fields
That helped me to realize...
Sometimes you end up in the place that you are always supposed to be in.
And without ever being able to tell you for sure,
I know without a doubt,
I stood in the place
Where my own family cared for themselves before I could ever know
Who they were.
