LYRICS
Nakeestla!
(Coming together to make things right)
Begin again, again,
Can you see me? Can I see you?
Same as you, I feel joy. Same as you, I feel pain.
Nakeestla!
Will you see me? Will I see you?
Same as you, I have dreams. Same as you, I have fears.
Our stories, different stories;
But in our journeys we are the same; we are the same.
I am not who you think I am
I have a life, I have a name,
I am much more than you see.
I will not be your enemy
I can see you. Can you see me?
Begin again.
We are connected.
May I learn to let go. May I learn to forgive.
May I learn to love. May I learn to live.
