same cry
We may look different but we see the same sky We may see different but we cry the same cry  To wake up daily and sleep better nights That's what we all wish for to seek a better life right? It's unfortunate when tragedy strikes But the truth is reality bites June 4th '89 a day residents feared Now known as the massacre at Tienamen Square The day I turned seven they were mourning and grieving Thousands of innocent died for what they believed in Armed with nothing but heart and a point to prove Stood in front of tanks and refused to move What would you do? run or stand still When a lifes on the line and they test a man's will Seeking change and they found it but in death Strangers yet they were my blood and flesh This happened in China but you ain't gotta be Asian to relate To the struggle pain and heartache so  You'll never know you'll never get it There is no choice we can't forget it When we look up we see the same sky When we look up we cry the very same cry  See I'm a grown man It hurts when I turn on the news and see what's going on in my homeland The SARS epidemic could have been lies Could it stand for should Asians really survive They'll try anything to break your family apart Politics'll break down the manliest heart Can the child within my heart rise above? If there's a billion of us I shouldn't have to look for love Over-population but damn just the meet the needs It's illegal to have more than one seed How can you dictate birth regardless to women And the parents they make the hardest decisions Sons keep the family name so that's not an option Imagine being forced to put your daughter for adoption And even though its beyond your control Keep your head up here's a song for your soul  You'll never know you'll never get it There is no choice we can't forget it When we look up we see the same sky When we look up we cry the very same cry  If you don't know where you came from You can't get to where you trying to go Ain't no denying so It's true I got some big shoes to fill But if I don't lead the movement than who will? Stuck between a rock and a hard place Thinkin' bout the refugees that went to see God's face Sixteen-thousand miles across the ocean tides Some died some got lucky and survived I wouldn't call it luck they reached the destination Modern day slavery without the plantation Them sneakers on your feet cost a hundred a pop My people's making fifteen cents a day and sweat shots To make them kicks so you can look good You think we open restaurants 'cause we cook good? Hell no we ain't got no choice I gotta speak up without me my people have no voice  You'll never know you'll never get it There is no choice we can't forget it When we look up we see the same sky When we look up we cry the very same cry
