Recognition - Susie Suh

We are just shadows

Crawling through this muck called our life

But I am hungry for your love

And I am starving for a better time

But that’s all we got here

That’s all we know

That’s all we’ve become

Our recognition

Yeah, well we be walking in some kind of direction

In a line with our right foot first

Yes, we’re waiting for some material heaven

That will, that will quench our unquenchable thirst

But that’s all we got here

That’s all we know

That’s all we’ve become

Our recognition

And I don’t know what to do about holding my head high

I am struggling to breathe through all these in between times

And I am wondering why

I am wondering why

Oh, Oh, Oh

And I was born into this place that filters who we are by what we have done

Yes I know I am a product of this institution

That’s all I got, yeah

That’s all I know

That’s all I’ve become

My recognition

And I don’t know what to do about holding my head high

I am struggling to breathe through all these in between times

And I am wondering why

I am wondering why
