Where I'm from there are no mountains And time is standing still Where I'm from there's barely space left Still they're running up a hill Where I'm from they don't like changes Even if alarm bells ring Where I'm from they have a princess Where I'm from they have a king
Where I'm from they don't like dreamers They are told to shut their mouth Where I'm from they're divided Between the North and the South Where I'm from it's like a long night That never turns to day Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling Where I'm from they've lost the way
Sing it loud today Sing it loud today I'm singing it loud today I am the one that got away
Where I'm from they just keep rooted Heads are always hanging low Where I'm from the Congo River Never got nowhere to go Where I'm from words are repeated But they never really rhyme Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling Where I'm from they're losing time
Where I'm from there's a lack of heroes Both in politics and song Where I'm from the more they fix it The faster everything goes wrong Where I'm from I still remember So I will sing it every day That this kingdom is still my kingdom It's encoded in my DNA
