New—first of all, everything felt
New—first and foremost, myself I was
Scared—scared to sever the bonds I had made
I got by anticipating the new ones
Warm—everybody just seemed so
Warm—even strangers who looked my
Way—wondering what I weighed and
Food—was the best part of all
Close—everywhere everyone was
Close—shoulders banging and elbows
Squeezed—but I guess that's a part of the
Charm—when the city is just a big family
Full of cousins you hate and the
People you date and the
Ones you look out for
People who help you and
Those who protect you and
Even the sleazy ones
Trying to scalp you and
Friends who die laughing at
Your stupid yapping and
Make you believe that
This earth is a kind one
There's something around you a
Force that surrounds you that
Pushes you into the
Great sea of people, it's
Growing and growing and
Growing and growing and
Growing and growing and
Growing and growing and
Flags were unfurling the
Streets were a maze, and then
Something was changing
Someone met my gaze
I felt like my eyes were just
Two mirrors facing
Forver and ever the
Images racing
There is nothing magical
China's just China but
Being so far meant my
Mind was a new one I
Grasped onto pieces of
Who I might be as I
Pondered my life and I
Wandered the city
Sure, I could say, that I've
Grown in some way, but that's
True of each person on
Every day, we're all
Marching to nowhere in
Life's grand parade and when
We close our eyes it all
Fades into gray, but now
Colors are pounding, they
Streak past my eyes and the
Fireworks bursting that
Lit up the skies were like
Gentle reminders that
I'm still alive and we're
Lights in the void of the
Darkest night sky
Oh, who am I
Who am I
