An ode to ancestors.

lyrics

They live in my dreams
To my chagrin
And from what it seems
They must be kin

I’ve seen them all
In my grandmother’s photographs
She keeps in her room

They show me the lives
They lived on my behalf
So that I could bloom

They live in my dreams
Much to my chagrin
And from what it seems
They must be kin

And from what it seems
They must be my kin
They live in my dreams
And I converse with them

They live in my dreams
To tell me where I’ve been

They must be kin…
