I Am Lyrics & Tabs by Kris Demeanor
I Am
guitar chords lyrics
Aloyo has uncle, the uncle has a drum
I will make sure it's okay to bring it into school
She's absolutely stunning, she's nearly six feet tall
She is a refugee from The Sudan
Apparently they learn to play by the age of three
I imagine in the camps there's little else for them to day
It's amazing how she seems to have the rhythm built right in
I hope she's not too shy to sing
Come now, play now, everyone pipe down
I have no gift to bring to lay before this land
to honour my new home
I am
They struggle with their English but Aloyo's taken leaps
Considering that when she came she hardly spoke a word
But it's always confusing, one minute she's withdrawn
They struggle with their English but Aloyo's taken leaps
Considering that when she came she hardly spoke a word
But it's always confusing, one minute she's withdrawn
The next she'll be up dancing with Eileen
I hope that she'll remember, I think it's bound to fade
Her mother has remarried outside her language
But if there's a recording, could we get a copy please?
I've got to play it back when she's 15
For now, could you please tell the class she's ready to practice
I have this gift to bring, to lay before our land
To honour our new home
I am
