Mother's brother's daughter has fallen in love,
I'm here with flowers in time for the wedding,
I'll sleep in strange bedding,
Right next to my cousin, who's mother is my cousin, too,
And I meet new strangers they say 'it's your mom's youngest brother',
Who works for a place that pays him great wages, I listen in stages,
And Aunt says 'make money';
She speaks to me in broken English today.
Can you get me out of here, and leave this all behind?
Can you get me out of here, and leave this all behind?
Can you get me out of here, and leave this all behind?
Can you get me out of here, I still have fear,
Welcome me with another cheer.
Sadly I never learned how to speak other, than what my friends sputtered,
Aloud in the Korean language class
Wasted on my ignorance to be part of the American Way,
And I say Korea I'm lost and I wish I was found,
And I may never see Auntie again,
She cries at the airport, I fly back to my port
Where safety is granted to me, don't you see?
Can you get me out of here, and leave this all behind?
Can you get me out of here, and leave this all behind?
Can you get me out of here, and leave this all behind?
Can you get me out of here, I still have fear,
Welcome me with another cheer.
