Foreign Girl

She poured across the land on a borrowed broom

Unhooked from her Lola’s safe embrace

Could hardly speak the tongue

She marches all alone

Yeah they say the grass is green

There’s less smoke to breathe in

You’re not more

You’re not less

(Hindi ka labis

Hindi ka kulang)

There once was a foreign girl

She once was the foreign girl

They named her the foreign girl

She knew she was from a foreign world

Swaying on the edge

Feet stuck on the scene

Could you blend in

Wading through the milk

As you carry your brown skin

As you carry your brown skin

You’re not more

You’re not less

You’re not more

You’re not less

You’re not more

You’re not less

There once was a foreign girl

She once was the foreign girl

They named her the foreign girl

She knew she was from a foreign world

There once was a foreign girl

She once was the foreign girl
