Verse 1:
We’ve been friends for a while
And I can’t help but see it
The things we could do if you were mine
I can tell that you want this
But you’re scared of it too
You’re not gon’ regret this
I belong with you
Pre-Chorus:
What you feel inside, I feel it too
Baby I promise we’ll make it through
Chorus:
I ain’t scared to say this, I’m done with waitin’
I think it’s time we do something about it
We should be together, now and forever
Trust in your heart and we can fly higher
Verse 2:
I know it’s hard to let go
When you’re past wasn’t easy
You’re tired of all the times love slipped away
You were treated so badly
And it hurts me too
But I’m here to make you see a
Different point of view
Bridge:
Faster than speed of light
When you’re by my side
Everything is alright
Never gonna waste your time
Anything that you need
I will give to you

Lyrics to Campfires by The Khaki Scouts
You are the earth the wind the vessel. You are the road that lasts. I am the crook, the thief, the hassle. I am the floor that cracks.
Fix me up and i will last.
You are the rock, the roll, the future. You are the soul that fuels. I am a crook, the night, the moocher. Mainly cus’ I refuse to let them use me as they choose.
I need you to stay with me, but i think that you’ll run away. What can I give you to stay?
I am the song, the words, the struggle. I keep you on on your toes. I promise to always keep trying to drive the crazies out and let them go.
You are the reason I keep going. You keep the will in me strong. You are the one who keeps showing up even though my troubles party all night long.
I need you to stay with me cus’ I think that you’ll run away. what can I give you to stay?
You think you should stay with me but I think that you’ll run away, what can I give you to stay, please stay.
Over the past year, the documentary “A Lot Like You” has been picking up awards at both Asian American and African American film festivals. In search of her roots, a mixed race, first-generation American filmmaker Eliaichi Kimaro traces her father’s footsteps back to Mt. Kilimanjaro where she discovers the beauty and brutality of the life he left behind.
Eliaichi Kimaro is a mixed-race, first-generation American with a Tanzanian father and Korean mother. When her retired father moves back to Tanzania, Eliaichi begins a project that evocatively examines the intricate fabric of multiracial identity, and grapples with the complex ties that children have to the cultures of their parents.
Kimaro decides to document her father’s path back to his family and Chagga culture. In the process, she struggles with her own relationship to Tanzania, and learns more deeply about the heritage that she took for granted as a child. Yet as she talks to more family members, especially her aunts, she uncovers a cycle of violence that resonates with her work and life in the United States. When Kimaro speaks with her parents about the oppression that her aunts face, she faces a jarring disconnect between immigrant generations on questions of patriarchy and violence.
A Lot Like You raises questions about the cultures we inherit and the cultures we choose to pass down, and reveals how simply bearing witness to another’s truth telling can break silences that have lasted lifetimes.
