Sparkles

I feel good inside

Cause I'm still learning

How to be my kind

I feel good inside

Fact or fiction

I'll always be alive

It's not a matter of feeling comfortable

The silence kept under the fold

Of my eyes

The sparkle of champagne

The red glow of my face

Brings out the yellow of my race

I feel good inside

I'd rather stay inside

Some might say I don't belong

Some might say I'm far from "home"

But I was born here

Haven't we progressed

Generations of fear

Can we let them rest

It's bliss

I find comfort in my shell

We're born the same in this hell

Different things, the same old shit

The hate won't faze me one bit

Tell me where to start

I'll be sure to play my part

To all the fathers before me

To all the mothers who crossed the sea

Love can test the sands of time

But when will it all be fine
