Where I'm From Songtext
von Sandra McCracken

It′s in my blood, it's in my hands
This is my great-grandfather′s land
The earth is sacred where we lightly walk
From there to here

Half of the floor left and some rusted nails
A ran-down shed and a dry well
A sleeping history of generations
From there to here

And this is where I'm from
And we will pass it on
So take it as it comes
'Cause it belongs to me


Fields of corn have turned to weeds
The wind now whispers so serenely
It is haunted by the children that have turned into fathers
From there to here, yeah

And this is where I′m from
And we will pass it on
So take it as it comes
′Cause it belongs to me

I wish my eyes could trace the years
To watch the stories I now hear
But in our words, they are still alive
And we have not lost anything
From there to here, yeah

This is where I'm from
And we will pass it on
So take it as it comes
′Cause it belongs to me, yeah


Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Where I'm from
