[Verse 1: Urthboy]

My mum asked me did she do a good job

Did she bring us up right, within a rough ride?

For real ma, I swear there ain't nothing that I'd swap there

So you should feel pride is how I replied

My blood made brighter by your sunlight

You told me fireworks form with words, when you run riot

The way they races you head when they're untied

You let me know they'll run dry but they'll fly again

The colour of our eyes different the tears the same

But I've got your smile when I hear your name

If I'm to inherit your deaf and blindness

Let me get the hope and the kindness

I'm cut from the cloth of the finest

From the same stock as your highness

No one deny me of this so please

Don't ask me how you could've done a better job

Cos there ain't nothing I can think of


[Chorus: Jane Tyrerll & Jimblah]

I saw myself in the mirror

Got a glimpse of my dad

I did a double take

Realised what I had

I'll found my own way

I've got to but I'll always come back

To be honest it scares me

Thinking about that


[Verse 2: Jane Tyrrell]

Memories sting and sooth me

My blue eyes the way I adjust my shoulders

For a moment she's still here with me

The pain erased and the weight released

I join the dots to make a picture

So many gaps where fables are builders

It gets me closer to who she was

What she gave me, what I lost

She gave me compassion

See and trust what I imagine

So I stand where she stood

Share the footsteps that she took

With my feet in her shoes

I do what I do for two

I transcribe our truth

Hope one day I'll pass it on too


[Chorus: Jane Tyrerll & Jimblah]

I saw myself in the mirror

Got a glimpse of my dad

I did a double take

Realised what I had

I'll go my own way

I've got to but I'll always come back

To be honest it scares me

Thinking about that

Yeah, thinking about that


[Verse 3: Jimblah]

I got this from my old man

He used to sing and jam with my Sis on the keys

That self-belied, my mum's side of the family tree

I owe it to my grandmother for that will to achieve

And all the dreams that I perceive because I put in time now

On the principals and morals what I base my life around

It's the foundation: Larrakia, Dutch, Yanuwa

Can't forget Philo blood Spanish cuz, what up brah?

Talking all corners of the globe just to get where I'm from

And yet I still call this home

Like the coast when I see it after forty thou years

So precious I'm connected through the ghosts of my peers

Ancestors, bless us with an angelic presence

I can feel it in my vein now the strength that I treasure

Re-up for the blessing as now

I can look at my hands and see a life-long investment

Questions


[Chorus: Jane Tyrerll & Jimblah]

I saw myself in the mirror

Got a glimpse of my dad

I did a double take

Realised what I had

I'll found my own way

I've got to but I'll always come back

To be honest it scares me

Thinking about that

Yeah, thinking about that

Thinking about that

(I found my own way)
