Where do I come from? I'm from Lao You're from here I'm from there We are here I am Thai; I am Chinese I'm a fella; at times, maybe yellow I am soaring through The sky If I choose, I will radiate blue As the sky Pinkness of a rose pedal, I can choose to radiate Love to my mate Yes, I am Lao I am Thai; I am Chinese I am Me Where are you? ------------------------ Disclaimer : The views expressed in all SatJaDham postings are the responsibilty of the author and do not neccessarily represent those of all members of SatJaDham or the Lao community.
