Bilingual
Somewhere in my lineage I was halved
Split in two
Robbed of my heritage
Do you even know what that means?
Do you even know what that means?
How do I come out of hiding?
When there's so much shame how do I reclaim my identity?
When that will mean to condemn them
'Cause I am them, am I not?
When that will mean to condemn them
'Cause I am them, am I not?
Oh, but I do condemn
This condemnation of myself has been my sanctuary
For too long I've found safety in it
It felt tokenistic to say it out loud
I belong to the victim side
But slowly I realized
That that's their language, victim
Though they will never call themselves raiders
Though they will never call themselves raiders
Raiders

You lost your land but you are no victim
You lost your land but you are no victim
There's nothing more defiant than a woman with a belief
This is my home
This is my home
ย
This is my home
ย
This is my home
ย
Have you seen their eyes?
More often now they look back at me
When I look in the mirror
It's not just anger, there's a pride
A fire they can't put out
ย
These days I feel shame too
For not embodying you
I guess this is my path
As my soul remembers
I am you, I am them too
Like a tree split in half through lightning
I am you, I am them too
I am
Tending to your wounds and theirs and mine
I am me
I promise I won't stop 'til all the guilt is gone
One day I will stand tall
ย
One day I will stand tall
