lyrics: I grew up in my childhood, seeing my mother and father striving so much, My mother became an orphan at age 1, Because her father passed away when cancer struck, And her mother raised her with pride as such, Because my grandmother, raised 7 children with her sweat and blood, And taught them to bow to no one, for their dignity must not corrupt, And she raised a daughter like my mother, who the world did not get a chance to rust, and she ended up marrying a man like my father who was known for his nobleness and trust, And my father was the only son, between 4 sisters, And he was noble, deeply connected with holy works, and scriptures, But the responsibilities from home sent him to work early, so he knew that life had its blisters, and this world was full of tricksters, and he knew that marriage is not a perfect picture, and it always needs to have fixtures, but see this is the depiction of their security, that they knew even when life will give them twisters, they will always have someone to hold on to, someone to hug, and together they saw a vision, of forming a family, and making a house, that was built by love And they had a vision, and vowed to each other, to give their kids the best education and thats why as kids we grew up in the greatest schools of the nation talking in English, growing up with rich kids, snobby noses, and all that sophistication, While mamma and daddy were working on budgets, to cut of all extravagations, in order to have complete simplification like how we would barely eat meat, and how mamma had to borrow clothes from her sisters for Eid, and hand me downs, would come from my older cousins, to my older brother, than me but daddy would always be there every night, to tuck us in and put us to sleep, and near exam time, daddy would teach us, and together we would be stressed and worried, and when daddy would come home from work, we would run to the door with smiles on our faces, and we would greet and meet, and mamma! Mamma would know everything thats going on in our lives, like who do we play with, and how were our studies, and she would know what we were up to, when she falls off to sleep, and to catch us from lying, she would be like stick out your toungue oooh its black you lying cheats! and man I miss going to those family trips monthly, we were not that rich, but those memories are in my head forever instilled up, And going to a school or rich kids, I never thought I was different, If anything I was above.. Because we were happy, and I was raised... in a house that was built by love And then in the venture of educating their kids, took them to the other corner of the globe , in the midst of the mist, to Canada, and converting 60 rupees for one dollar, were soon finished and Daddy had to search for months, ready to work for any job that exists, and he would go searching for a job for miles, on feet! Because he didnt want to waste any bus tickets, and he went from job to job, from labour jobs, to security, t
