They say time moves forward
But fear just changes clothes
Back when roads were marked by a little green book
Told you where you could sleep, where you shouldn't look
Color of your skin was a map to your fate
Separate doors, separate dreams, separate plates
They called it order, they called it the norm
Put walls in the mind long before they built them in stone
The laws went quiet, signs came down
But the fear stayed alive, just changed the sound
From printed hate to coded lies
From burning crosses to trending lines
From "you don't belong" on a diner door
To "secure the border" on a screen once more
I'm a stranger in the place where I'm trying to live
And a stranger where I'm from 'cause I had to forgive
They say "go home," but home doesn't feel like me
Two worlds reject me, nowhere lets me be
I'm a stranger 'mong strangers, standing in between
Too foreign for the old world, too old for the new dream
Passport full of places, but no place that is mine
Just a heart in migration, crossing borders inside
Now they wear suits, talk clean in the mic
Say culture is dangerous, say foreign is crime
Dress fear up in numbers, elections and charts
Turn people to problems, turn borders to hearts
They don't say race, they say identity
They don't say hate, they say security
They don't say we're scared, they say protect the nation
Same old fear, just a new translation
It's not the boots now, it's the news at night
It's not the torch now, it's the common fight
It's not the law now, it's the whispering crowd
It's not the street now, it's the algorithm loud
I'm a stranger in the place where I'm trying to live
And a stranger where I'm from 'cause I had to forgive
They say "go home," but home doesn't feel like me
Two worlds reject me, nowhere lets me be
My mother's voice on the phone sounds far away
My father says "come back," but I've already changed
My friends back home say "you left us behind"
My new world says "you don't fit our design"
So where do I belong if not here, not there?
If every door is guarded by a look or a stare
I pay my taxes, I follow the rules
Still get the question: "So where are you from, dude?"
Not "how are you?" not "what's your name?"
Just a border in a sentence, a polite kind of chain
They say I'm lucky, they say I should smile
They don't see the loss hiding under the miles
They don't see the language I bury in my chest
They don't see the home I no longer possess
I'm a stranger in the place where I'm trying to live
And a stranger where I'm from 'cause I had to forgive
They say "go home," but home doesn't feel like me
Two worlds reject me, nowhere lets me be
I'm a stranger 'mong strangers, standing in between
Too foreign for the old world, too old for the new dream
No flag on my heart, no land on my name
Just a human being tired of the game
They say history repeats
But really, it just reloads
