Don’t forget where you came from -
A people who died for freedom,
While ignoring the screams
Of humans tortured for living.
Don’t forget where you came from -
A people who argued for truth,
While ignoring the cries
Of humans condemned for existing.
Don’t forget where you came from -
A people who taught what is good,
While ignoring the sobs
Of humans dismissed for being.
Don’t forget where you came from.
Remember and be changed by it,
While hearing the talk
Of humans worthy of living.
Don’t forget where you came from,
Knowing others will come from you
While telling the acts
Of humans, each given a choice.
"Because of You" is an emotional song expressing how a relationship doesn't have to be perfect before it can be good and beautiful.
