Paradigm (典范) - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)[00:00:00]
I was born to two immigrants[00:00:38]
Who knew why they were here[00:00:41]
They were happy to pay taxes[00:00:46]
For the schools and roads[00:00:48]
Happy to be here[00:00:50]
They took it seriously[00:00:54]
The second job of citizenry[00:00:58]
My mother went campaigning door to door[00:01:02]
And holding to her hand was me[00:01:06]
I was just a girl in a room full of women[00:01:10]
Licking stamps and laughing[00:01:14]
I remember the feeling of community brewing[00:01:18]
Of democracy happening[00:01:22]
But I suppose like anybody[00:01:26]
I had to teach myself to see[00:01:48]
All that stuff that got lost[00:01:52]
On its way to church[00:01:54]
All that stuff that got lost[00:01:56]
On its way to school[00:01:58]
All that stuff that got lost[00:02:00]
On its way to the house of my family[00:02:03]
All that stuff that was not lost on me[00:02:06]
Teach myself to see each of us[00:02:12]
Through the lens of forgiveness[00:02:15]
Like we're stuck with each other (god forbid )[00:02:16]
Teach myself to smile and stop and talk[00:02:21]
To a whole other color kid[00:02:24]
Teach myself to be new in an instant[00:02:29]
Like the truth is accessible at any time[00:02:32]
Teach myself it's never really one or the other[00:02:36]
There's a paradox in every paradigm[00:02:41]
I was just a girl in a room full of women[00:03:18]
Licking stamps and laughing[00:03:22]
I remember the feeling of community brewing[00:03:26]
Of democracy happening[00:03:30]
