I was born and raised

As an eastern girl in a western world

I was told to choose

To choose to be what I chose to be

Speaking impartially

There doesn't seem to be a place for me

But when I look inside I find

A place to run to hide



I was born to love

A distant land and a rising sun

I was born to love this

Green and pleasant land

Which way should I turn?

Cos I seem to fall towards burning

But when I look inside I find the place

To cry, to fly, to die



You and I, born as fools now

You and I think, think we rule now



Now I see the world

As an ancient place as a smiling face

I can choose to be

What I want to be if I choose to be

Speaking impartially

If the smile grows cold without me

I know a secret place to cry, to fly, to try



You know I'm burning in a flame now



Now I see the world

As an ancient place as a smiling face

Now I see the world

As a place where I can run to hide to

Which way should I turn?

Cos I seem to fall towards burning

But when I look inside I find the place

To try, to hide, to fly



You and I, born as fools now

You and I think, think we rule now



You and I, born as fools now

You and I think, think we rule now
