Tanita Tikaram - Bloodlines lyrics

You can't call hell

A quiet town

But you walked so shell-shocked

Have you found a way to stand?

Your head is high

You have, oh, such curious hands

Did they mention

Special faces

And your young mind

And foreign places?

And I wonder

Where you come from

I know they have no answers

But their bloodlines, ah, bloodlines

Can you call

This land a friend?

You looked so hopeful

Have you found a way to send this soul

To, oh, such a curious end

For this sadness

Am I made strong?

For my sadness

Must be shared by someone

And I wonder

Where you come from

I know I have no answers

But my bloodlines, ah, bloodlines

To know that I am not the only one

To know that my love is for everyone

To hold it in my heart

To hold it in my heart

To hold it in my heart

And I wonder

Where you come from

I know I have no answers

But my bloodlines, bloodlines
