TAKIN' MY LITTLE VOYAGE AGAIN
THINKIN' BACK INTO MY CHILDHOOD LAND
DRINKIN' THE WHITE MILK SHE FORCED ME TO
HERSHEY'S CHICILATE SYRUP ON SUNDAYS, TOO
POURIN' TASTELESS WHITE MILK INTO THE SINK
HOPIN' THAT GRANDMA DIDN'T SEE ME DONIN' IT
COULDN'T DRINK NOTHIN' WITHOUT COLOUR IN IT
HATIN' COLOURLESS SOCIETY AND PROVIN' IT
WATCHING TOO MUCH T.V. FOR A CHINESE GIRL
LIVING IN A NEW COUNTRY CALLED AMERICA
YES SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, SHE'S GOT HER SPACIOUS SKIES
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE UGLY PARTS THE CONQUERORS HIDE？
CHORUS：A BOWL OF RICE IS A BOWL OF MEMORIES
SHOVIN' IT DOWN OUR HUNGRY THROATS
A CUP OF TEA IS A CUP OF TEARS
FLOODIN' DOWN OUR THIRSTY THROATS
SO I WRITE A SONG TO KEEP
THE MEMORIES OF YOU AND ME
IT SHALL KEEP US WARM AT NIGHT
EVEN TOHGH YOU'RE OUT OF SIGHT
BEING HIT IN FIRST GRADE BY A LITTLE BLACK GIRL
I KNEW SHE FELT TRAPPED IN HER UNJUST WORLD
SHE NEEDED SOMEONE TO BEAT BECAUSE SHE, TOO, WAS BEING BEAT
BY THE SAME SOCIETY I LEARNED LATER DREADED ME……
THE EYELINE I WAS BLESSED WITH MADE MY FEEL SUPERIOR
WATCHIN' SISTERS SLICE UP THEIRS, WHO FELT INFERIOR？
THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME WHEN THE EAST MEETS THE WEST
A FOGGY GLIMPSE IS WHAT THEY GOT OF 美國BEAUTIFUL WEST
CHORUS：A BOWL OF RICE IS A BOWL OF MEMEORIES
SHOVUN' IT DOWN OUR HUNGRY THROATS
A CUP A TEA IS A CUP OF TEARS
FLOODIN' DOWN OUR THIRSTY THROATS SO I WRITE A SONG TO KEEP
THE MEMORIES OF YOU AND ME
IT SHALL KEEP US WARM AT NIGHT EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE OUT OF SNGHT

再次展開回憶的旅程走進我兒時的園地喝著外婆堅持的白色牛奶還有星期天的巧克力糖漿
偷偷將無味的牛奶倒進水槽祈禱外婆不會發覺實在喝不下任何沒有彩色的東西痛恨那個容不下異色的社會
我就事見證對一個中國女孩來說不該看那麼多電視住在一個新的國度名叫亞美利加她是個美麗的國家
她的天空遼闊然而那些征服者刻意隱藏了醜惡呢？一碗米飯是一碗回憶吞啊吞進我飢餓的喉嚨
於是我寫下這首歌為了不忘有關你我的故事它能在夜裡溫暖我們即使你遠在天邊不論你身在何處
小學一年級一個黑人女孩打了我我知道她自覺被困在一個不公平了世界裡
她需要將社會加諸在她的鞭苔在別人身上重演那個多年後同樣令我心寒了社會天生的單眼皮讓我覺得優越
看著姊妹們一個個因自恃遜色的割了雙眼皮東人西移一切變得面目全非他們想像中美麗了美國大西部
原只是霧裡的驚鴻一瞥
