Lyrics

One side coming over here, treading through the tribulations, trying to find the pieces that they left behind
Another side born & raised here, 2 identities, balancing is the struggle, but its better than the fall

But what we have in common, it runs deeper than the Pacific, separating our two homes apart
though we’re from different places, we see family & love the same, and for that, together we are

Being & becoming, proud of our roots, those very roots that give us strength
Being & Becoming, grateful for the family that we’re born in, the family that we are born in
By being who we are & waving our red & yellow flag and becoming something greater together
Being & becoming
that’s who we are, thats what we’ll be, oh can’t you see (can’t you see)

Both sides what really share, is our power to keep on giving, generous is our middle name
Both raised to work hard, holding on for dear life
to make our families proud, & never give up

Yes, what we have in common, it digs deeper than this soil, separating our two homes apart
though we’re from different places, we see family & love the same, and for that, together we are

Being & becoming, proud of our roots, those very roots that give us strength
Being & Becoming, grateful for the family that we’re born in, the family that we are born in
By being who we are & waving our red & yellow flag and becoming something greater together
Being & becoming
that’s who we are, thats what we’ll be, oh can’t you see (can’t you see)

Bridge:
We bring the best sides of Vietnam, loud & proud
Out in the forefront
We bring out the best sides of our Being, and becoming something greater than we know

We’re being & becoming, proud where we came from, we’ll carry that in our hearts
Being & Becoming, our family, we love forevermore, giving infinite gratitude
By being who we are & waving our red & yellow flag and becoming something more together
Being & becoming
that’s who we are, thats what we’ll be, oh can’t you see (can’t you see)
Being & becoming
