AlphaBrownMusic - Displaced lyrics

{Part 1} To the outliers The mavericks The underdogs And the addicts To the dreamers The activists The renegades And the alchemists To the beached fish The indoor kites The backyard dogs And the lemons in limelight To the ocean plastic The masked disguise The doubtful totems And the canaries in coalmines {Part 2} To the tongues on foreign soil Bananas in fruit bowls Forged art in galleries And the square pegs in this round world To the kings in constant check Ships shadowed in beacons Orbital debris Stolen artifacts in museums To the arcs who’ve lost the plot Mics without a stage Shoes tied on power lines And the lab mice in this rat race To the children of immigrants Homeless in their homeland Innocent prisoners And the refugees in no mans {Part 3} We often question meaning Of ourselves in space and time But as life goes on, we come to learn Our place has reason why So, despite our great despairs We hope and search for change Inspired by those stories Of good from being displaced Rosa Parks never gave her seat Banksy art fills common streets Blaine flew to heights unreached Mandela’s time set a nation free Greta striked for our climate Kamkwamba built power with science Kaepernick knelt in defiance And Gladwell wrote Outliers
