Body of Water

Itâ s imprinted on your bones
 everything you learned back home
 And, even what you think is wrong
 stays with you when youâ re gone
 I donâ t know anything about this
 I swear Iâ m not like my mom
 Iâ m optimistic
 With every swallow, every heartbeat
 you sense the water in your body
 Itâ s hard to miss it
 The thinking, the memories that fire
 The history you compile
 You save and save and save
 The system, the zeroes and the ones
 is where it all comes from
 Is where it all comes from
 The blood that runs in my veins, it gets around
 The water that makes up the rain, it only knows down
 The trouble with communicationâ s when language gets in the way
