The moment pass me by tonight
So why take my certain light
And shout
The moment pass me by tonight
So why take my certain light
And shout
Every day wake on up by the sunshine
If it rains windowpane everything on my young mind
Starts to surface like how can I get out of this
I know this isn't life but I'm feeling like a catalyst
My mother she just died here brother he just died here
They keep me in a cell gotta find a way out there
In my sleep I dream about my country
They tell me North Korea is the best but I am hungry
I was talking to my Unnie in my dreams she said run
Watch out for the towers and the solders with the guns
They will shoot you if they catch you even though you're twelve
And you're just a little girl taken by the world
In the chance that you make it go and sell your body
It's everything you got only cry when you're alone
Never let them see you if you show a sign of weakness
If it gets too overbearing just remember all my kisses
The morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight
And shine
Morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight
And shine
Every day wake on up by the sunshine
If it rains windowpane everything on my young mind
Starts to surface like how can I get better grades
If I stay an extra hour I could get another A
My mother went to school here brother went to school here
Papa graduated too pressures on 'cause I'm new here
In my sleep I dream about my country
My South Korean pride and my heroes all above me
I would watch them just to emulate my TV will articulate
The standard of whats beautiful my role is to participate
Take a cut take a slash
On my face make a mask
Only problem is it covers what is under it
A hundred twenty pounds feeling like another lift
I got to get another hit I promise I'm not into this
It'll make me look much better than I ever could
Or ever did
The morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight
And shine
Morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight
And shine
Every day wake on up by the sunshine
If it rains windowpane everything on my young mind
Starts to surface like what will
I go do today
They tell me that I'm privileged in my mind
That is brand new to me
My mother isn't from here brother isn't from here
I was born right by my house never
Had to go out there
In my sleep I dream about my country
Born in North America they
Telling me I'm lucky
And I barely understand 'em
'Cause my mind is on a pedestal
I never had to live in a cell or barely eat
I barely got my sleep and the screen broke on my cell
I really hate my life hash tag FML
Where is my allowance at my shopping fund is gone
My parents really mean they make me mow the lawn
And I have to get along with them
I can't wait just to leave
They'll never understand me and I really need to breathe
The morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight
And shine
Morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight
And shine
