Sweep Your Own Snow

Lyrics

The world is on fire And there is no sign of rain Beaten and terrorized Resilience is towards my pain It seems that we're always escaping from somewhere And if that's so Will we ever be home Othered and bullied Mastering the stiff upper lip They make us apply Then deny us our membership Move out of the way Go back to your country I thought this was my country Show shame Small heart Be careful Live cautiously Thesе are the words that my mother еngrained in me Sweep your own snow You must sweep your own snow If there's no solution then there isn't a problem Sweep your own snow Don't offer up more than you owe Just worry about you And sweep your own snow It keeps getting worse and there is no end in sight It's yet one more war that we never wanted to fight We came here in search of a life, a future For the promise that is America Show shame Small heart Be careful Live cautiously But what if that isn't the person I want to be Sweep your own snow You must sweep your own snow You can't be consumed by the struggles of others Sweep your own snow You're safer just laying low So stay in my yard And sweep your own snow The victims of misogny Now sprinkled with white supremacy Sadly the perfect recipe For turning us into the enemy Blamed for the virus Blamed for the ruin Blamed for the anguish Blamed attacked and now Enough It's enough Maybe by seeing you swallow so much I was able to find my own voice Huh huh ah Sweep my own snow I can't just sweep my own snow I will sweep and I'll push and I'll fight to honor my mother Sweep my own snow I finally learned to say no For the women came before And the women who are next I don't have a choice This is my snow Huh huh
