Immigrant

Hello world

Am I invisible to you?

Do you think like I do?

Can you dream too?

Cause I feel like I'm all alone

Trapped in a foreign place

Trapped in my own home



I see all these people living their own lives

They don't see me and I don't know why

I wish I could find a way to be a part of them

But I can't see that happening



I'm so alone,

Can you hear my heart beating?

Can you feel how I feel?

Do you know what I am?

Cause I'm just trying the best I can

To be who I want me to be

To be who you want me to be



I overhear all these conversations

of things excluding me

I try to withhold my exasperation

and it leads to misery

Is this all in vain?

Does anyone feel the same as me?



I try to think a little bit harder

I try to be a little bit smarter

To figure out what I can do to remedy this

to clear away all the pain, all the hopelessnes



I'm hoping that my words will touch you

I'm writing for your empathy

but there's something I can't control

and that's your apathy



I'm so lost, living in my own world

I'm dying to get out to you

All I want is somewhere I belong

To be who you want me to



Hello world

I'm still so invisible to you

and there's nothing I can do

I'll just close my eyes

adn wish away this life tonight

But if you stop me in all sincerity

and show me the way to a conformity

I swear I'll be what you want me to be
