Kind Reminder

How many people had to survive So you could arrive? How many people had to survive So you could arrive? How many people had to survive So you could arrive? How many people had to survive? I'm still thinking about your beautiful face You are amazing How many stories live in you From the Middle Ages, from Ancient Times? How many times did they sacrifice? How much sweat on the brow? How many miles? Please forgive everybody who's forgotten where they come from Who's forgotten who they are They don't need your backs and hatred They need your face They need your embrace And a kind reminder And a kind reminder How many people had to die so you could be alive? When I'm looking at your face It's the face of a million and so much more When you see me passing by Would you kindly remind me of my ancestor's feet All the fields of wheat, all the rows of thirsty seeds? Please forgive everybody who's forgotten where they come from Who's forgotten who they are They don't need your backs and hatred They need your face They need your embrace And a kind reminder And a kind reminder And a kind reminder How many people had to survive So you could arrive? How many people had to survive?
