[00:00.000]Taking my little voyage again

[00:03.300]Thinking back into my childhood land

[00:07.800]Drinking the white milk she forced me to

[00:10.200]Hershey's chocolate syrup on Sundays too

[00:13.900]Pouring tasteless white milk into the sink

[00:16.600]Hoping that grandma didn't see me doing it

[00:19.900]Couldn't drink nothing without color in it

[00:22.900]Hating colorless society and proving it

[00:26.900]Watching too much TV for a Chinese girl

[00:29.900]Living in a new country called America

[00:32.900]Yes she's beautiful she's got her special skys

[00:36.900]But what about the ugly parts the conquerors hide

[00:46.900]A bowl of rice is a bowl of memories

[00:48.900]Shoving it down our hungry throats

[00:51.900]A cup of tea is a cup of tears

[00:55.900]Flooding down our thirsty throats

[00:58.900]So I write a song to keep

[01:01.900]The memories of you and me

[01:05.900]It shall keep us warm at night

[01:08.900]Even though you're out of sight

[01:18.900]Being hit in first grade by a little black girl

[01:21.900]I knew she felt trapped in her unjust world

[01:24.900]She needed someone to beat

[01:26.900]Because she too was being beat

[01:27.900]By the same society I learned later dreaded me

[01:44.900]The eyeline I was blessed which made me feel superior

[01:47.900]Watching sisters slice up theirs who felt inferior

[01:51.900]Things are not the same when the east meets the west

[01:53.900]A foggy glimpse is what the got of America beautiful west

[02:04.900]A bowl of rice is a bowl of memories

[02:06.900]Shoving it down our hungry throats

[02:10.900]A cup of tea is a cup of tears

[02:13.900]Flooding down our thirsty throats

[02:16.900]So I write a song to keep

[02:20.900]The memories of you and me

[02:23.900]It shall keep us warm at night

[02:26.900]Even though you're out of sight

[02:29.900]A bowl of rice is a bowl of memories

[02:32.900]Shoving it down our hungry throats

[02:35.900]A cup of tea is a cup of tears

[02:38.900]Flooding down our thirsty throats

[02:42.900]So I write a song to keep

[02:45.900]The memories of you and me

[02:48.900]It shall keep us warm at night

[02:52.900]Even though you're out of sight

[03:19.900]
