Lyrics
[verse]
Does anybody still remember me
The way I was before I learned to flee
Back when the kitchen smelled of bread and rain
And nobody had learned to hide their pain
[chorus]
Understand what we've become
Understand where we're from
I'm still the child you used to hold
Even now that I've grown old
[verse]
I sent you letters that you never read
Filled with all the things I never said
Life took me farther than I meant to roam
But part of me will always call this home
[chorus]
Understand what we've become
Understand where we're from
I'm still the child you used to hold
Even now that I've grown old
[bridge]
Forgive me for the years I stayed away
Forgive the silence, forgive the delay
Family isn't distance, it's the thread
That ties the living to the ones who led
[chorus]
Understand what we've become
Understand where we're from
I'm still the child you used to hold
Even now that I've grown old
