I remember when I was small All the colours of my home and all The smells and sounds Where are they now? I remember all my family Aunts and uncles cousins close to me We would play for hours Where are they now? I remember when we said Goodbye We had to leave our clothes and toys behind I remember how it made me cry I wish for yesterday and close my eyes I remember my new home was grey I longed to feel the sunshine on my face But it rained all day Where am I now? I remember feeling so alone We had to come here to be safe I know But I wanted home Where am I now? I remember feeling scared some days
When people told us we should go away At night I'd listen to my father cry I wish for morning and I close my eyes I remember how I made new friends I learned their language and I played their games And I found my smile Where I am now I remember hearing we could stay Being allowed to work and pay our way And find a home Where I am now I remember when I had my child How I'd do anything to make her smile To keep her safe and always by my side I think of yesterday and close my eyes I remember when I was small All the colours of my home and all Of the smells and sounds Where are they now?
