Show Yourself

Alex Wong

Lyrics

I close my eyes and I count to ten
You vanish just like you did back then
Beneath the branches of the banyan tree
Oh why do you still hide from me

The sun is low in the Southern sky
Our shadows stretch into the night
I close my eyes and I count to ten
Do we have to play this game again

Show yourself
Show yourself
Come out come out
Wherever you are

The monsters we keep out of sight
Still scratch at the door go bump in the night
But wild things will not be tamed
Until we call them out by name

I miss the sound of my father’s Chinese
Fading in the suburban breeze
Why do I run from what I used to be
Why am I hiding from my history

And ready or not the morning comes
It shines a light on everyone
And ready or not you see the truth
There is nobody chasing you
