Oh,
where am I from?
I am from swimming in the river
Which makes me so happy.
Where am I from?
I am from the eating
Of rice and dal for lunch
And chicken for my dinner.
Where am I from?
I am from the country
Which is always getting in trouble
Called Tibet.
Where am I from?
I am from being an ambassador
Of the gods and angels
Who are living in the heavens.
Where am I from?
I am from the group of boys
Who are future seeds of Tibet,
Living in a refugee zone. |
Where
am I from?
I am from the dream of being a king
Of earlier times,
From thousands of years ago.
Where am I from?
I am from the student
Who is living
At the Tibetan Homes School.
Where am I from?
I am from the boy
Who has a lot of sorrow
And often gets in trouble at his home.
Where am I from?
I am from the boy of dreams
Which were appearing
Only as nightmares.
Where am I from?
I am from the box
Which was full of diamonds.
Where am I from?
I am from everything
That I ever needed. |
