When I think of where I am,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,
When the world becomes unexplainable,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,
When I hear echoes of your voice,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,
As days continue to grow, the stronger commitment,
When the distance seems to extend,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,
Who would have fathomed what would grow,
From when we were under the same sun in the sky,
When I can’t see that little smiling face,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,
When I go to sleep, and know that I’ll be there soon,
I look up to know you see the same moon in the sky.
The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
