And I Said

Why do you care at all where you come from
A friend asked in conversation one day
Does your ancestor's name really matter
Is a blood line that important for you
A history that's worth consuming thought
All that matters is what's going on now
Who your family was is not who you are
They were sure they didn't care of their own

But I had something I needed to find
A history may not be who we are
But for some it holds a whole lot of weight
So I answered them in less words than these
If I am to be judged for past unknown
I want to know what it was all about
