On the first day of Christmas, my tutu gave to me,

Before he even thought to consider 
Whether to pronounce it 
Ashanti Asante or Asanti

Her voice eases through a window as we reach shoes on the porch.

Dare to know Thoreau.”
 
Ahh, how the day is
The simplest of all revolutions.

The mall, the school, the airport,
The bus stop, the market,

They don't even notice a new you
Ooooo
They keep looking at me like I'm cuckoo
Boo-hoo
Who knew

Everything seems impossible when it’s not done
Though when dark times hit, people tend to give up and run
But to where, it’s still under the same sun
This is one of the truth ignored by man.
