about
part of forthcoming E.P. 'Songs for Childhood', this is a song for the amazing Leo, who was (and is!) so curious and thoughtful about his family history, and what that means for his present and his future. Thankyou Leo for the inspiration for this song!
lyrics
Where am I from? Who am I?
How do I join the dots, connect myself together?
Where have I gone? Where have we been?
Come take my hand, discover, with me...
A history of journeys, across a map of me,
from Austria, the U.K., to Ukraine and Germany,
to Canada and Liverpool, and Sheffield, that's my now,
where will my future take me? My past will show me how, because...
I am without borders,
I exist across the lines,
the ancient tale of humans,
of journeys, is now mine.
And my soul hears them sing,
my soul hears them sing,
my soul hears them sing,
my soul hears them sing.
My ancestors call out to me,
they call and call,
and call and call
to me.
Yes my soul hears them sing,
my soul hears them sing,
my soul hears them sing,
my soul hears them sing.
My ancestors call out to me,
they call and call,
and call and call
to me.
