歌词
Our words did not flow easily
Our tongues made different shapes
But I know what you dreamed of
In 1948
You'd gather all your school friends
The playground was your stage
You sang their favorite ghazals
The children shout your name
Like a distant galaxy
There was much more to you
Than the elegance that I see
In these old photographs
So when I'm singing this story
I'm filling in the gaps
I am your legacy
Though I can count on both my hands
The times you looked upon my face
I feel you in my heart
Your melodies flow through my veins
So from the other side
Peering into my queer world
You bless my journey
When you'd hold me in your gaze
I'd never felt so safe
Your sari was a shield
For every fear or foe I'd face
You soothe me with you voice
While you play the violin
A scientist of song
Your traits I inherit
Like a distant galaxy
There was much more to you
Than the elegance that I see
In these old photographs
So when I'm singing this story
I'm filling in the gaps
I am your legacy
Though I can count on both my hands
The times you looked upon my face
I feel you in my heart
Your melodies flow through my veins
So from the other side
Peering into my queer world
You bless my journey
Bless my
Bless my journey
