Autobiography

Let me tell you a story A story of me I, first, wasn't born here I was born in White Suburbon Motown Then travelled to the Sunshine State I travelled I travelled to here, Great White North Here, I discovered my hipness It's where I was turned from a happy child To mournful woman Who won't return to my homeland And stay here though, I feel I don't belong An outsider looking for a home With a sense of belonging And as the solitude crawls with every year Into my heart I will stay for all it's worth For it's all I know
