sundial - the american dream lyrics
[verse 1: dorothy chan, dorothy chan & jisu kim]
i used to always pinch my nose
twenty times before i sleep
’cause mom said it would make me look
just like all the girls on the screen
but twenty years has passed
and i still look the same, mm+mm
[verse 2: dorothy chan & jisu kim]
had an accent as a kid
took five years to get rid of it
take it as a compliment
when they think i’m american
oh, land of the free
just not for me
[chorus: dorothy chan & jisu kim]
don’t ask me where i’m from
i don’t know what to say
’cause the place where i grew up thinks i have changed
i can barely talk to mom
use english every day
but the people here still laugh at my ‘real name’
so, where can i go
if i’ll always be a stranger in my home?
[verse 3: dorothy chan & jisu kim]
and i still think of seventh grade
grandma packed my lunch that day
friends made fun of how it smelled
i laughed along and threw it away
and, still, to this day
i miss how it tastes
[chorus: dorothy chan & jisu kim]
don’t ask me where i’m from
i don’t know what to say
’cause the place where i grew up thinks i have changed
i can barely talk to mom
use english every day
but the people here still laugh at my ‘real name’
so, where can i go
if i’ll always be a stranger in my home?
[bridge: dorothy chan & jisu kim]
so, i’m pretty for an asian
so, i’m smart, but that’s a given
i’m not special, i’m just different
you’re not racist, just a question
must be nice to be included
not because you are the token
i’m not special, i’m just different
i’m just different
[chorus: dorothy chan & jisu kim, dorothy chan]
don’t ask me where i’m from
i don’t know what to say (ah+ahh)
’cause the place where i grew up thinks i have changed (thinks i have changed, yeah)
i can barely talk to mom
use english every day (oh, every day)
but the people here still laugh at my ‘real name’
so, where can i go? (oh, woah)
’cause i never seem to be enough for both
[outro: dorothy chan & jisu kim, dorothy chan]
so, where can i go
if i’ll always be a stranger in my home?
