Among You

Among you I live

Among you I grew

 

I shared lunchtime with you

We might of share a laugh

 

We've learned write together

We've learned to love

 

But to hate we also learned

 

Why is it now we have become strangers

You say you hate them

but I am part of them

 

I grew up with you

But I grew up like them

 

Among you I live 

yet never a part of you I am

 

I am them

yet never a part of them I am

 

I am made up of two lands

but never a part of them I am

 

I am a mirage in one

And a memory in another

Among you I am
