Ani Difranco - Paradigm Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was born to two immigrants
  • Who knew why they were here
  • They were happy to pay taxes
  • For the schools and roads
  • Happy to be here
  • They took it seriously
  • The second job of citizenry
  • My mother went campaigning door to door
  • And holding to her hand was me
  • I was just a girl in a room full of women
  • Licking stamps and laughing
  • I remember the feeling of community brewing
  • Of democracy happening
  • But I suppose like anybody
  • I had to teach myself to see
  • All that stuff that got lost
  • On its way to church
  • All that stuff that got lost
  • On its way to school
  • All that stuff that got lost
  • On its way to the house of my family
  • All that stuff that was not lost on me
  • Teach myself to see each of us
  • Through the lens of forgiveness
  • Like we're stuck with each other (god forbid!)
  • Teach myself to smile and stop and talk
  • To a whole other color kid
  • Teach myself to be new in an instant
  • Like the truth is accessible at any time
  • Teach myself it's never really one or the other
  • There's a paradox in every paradigm
  • I was just a girl in a room full of women
  • Licking stamps and laughing
  • I remember the feeling of community brewing
  • Of democracy happening
