I remember when I was small
All the colours of my home and all
The smells and sounds
Where are they now?
I remember all my family
Aunts and uncles cousins close to me
We would play for hours
Where are they now?
I remember when we said Goodbye
We had to leave our clothes and toys behind
I remember how it made me cry
I wish for yesterday and close my eyes
I remember my new home was grey
I longed to feel the sunshine on my face
But it rained all day
Where am I now?
I remember feeling so alone
We had to come here to be safe I know
But I wanted home
Where am I now?
I remember feeling scared some days
When people told us we should go away
At night I'd listen to my father cry
I wish for morning and I close my eyes
I remember how I made new friends
I learned their language and I played their games
And I found my smile
Where I am now
I remember hearing we could stay
Being allowed to work and pay our way
And find a home
Where I am now
I remember when I had my child
How I'd do anything to make her smile
To keep her safe and always by my side
I think of yesterday and close my eyes
I remember when I was small
All the colours of my home and all
Of the smells and sounds
Where are they now?
