(slow blues in A major / jun asuncion)
A man went to a clan reunion
Ignored by his kin, he left badly broken
He longed for fairness and peace
Only to get more stabbed behind his face.
In disbelief, he longed for explanation
But this struck against an icy destination
He felt alone, outcasted and in pain
As insults were hurled by exclusive kin.
But he remembered the lessons of his youth
From his parents’ and grandparents’ truth
He learned to accept the fact of his fate
And found comfort in their love so great
Now he stands tall and proud
His living kin’s words no longer loud
For he knows that he is loved
By those who matter most, from above
