Lyrics (unofficial)

I am Suprere [0:33]
My name means the sky
My sister set me there
A light off the dome

My brother Surhail [0:49]
Is a name of a star
From a lineage of astronomers
That's who we are

My father is a doctor like his father before him
My mother, too, she is a physician
Persians and Iranians, the Middle East
Asians and Aryans and Jewish not the least

And the immigrants will find their way to a new home
They're never swayed or persuaded
May they find a welcome

I lived all over the USA
I operate on hearts
I am an itinerant surgeon
This is where the future starts
Relationships and home addresses
They've come and gone
Maybe true knowledge is in my head
Or maybe in a Church song

Sometimes I realize I have kept ??? [2:52] possibilities alive
Like a bone hovering in the air
Never hitting the ground
Unbeware immediate [3:03]
When those arteries unravel
After all I'm an immigrant
And immigrants travel

And the immigrants will find their way to a new home
They're never swayed or persuaded
May they find a welcome

May they find a welcome
