Lyrics
Not a lot to hold onto, we were lied to as children.
Somewhere along the line, they decided not to be real.
The truth became concealed by greed and misintentions.
I wanna know my history.
What are we good for If we lie to ourselves
Children should have the history of centuries long gone.
To learn more about themselves and where they might be going.
I wanna know my history.
No one knows everything. But knowing that, helps when you're wrong.
We’ve lost a lot to hold on to, but we’ve got to learn before it’s gone.
If you want the real history then you should learn it for your young.
We want to pass on truth, we want to pass on the right and wrong.
I want to know my history. Do you know your history?
