LYRICS by Brooke D. (translation by Momoka Yamazaki) Am I worthy? Can I be worthy, even if I do nothing? Tell me how to slow down. Can I slow down? I don’t know how. The structures falling, what am I building? Do you know where we’re going? The map’s unraveling. Look in the mirror say that I care. No one’s around, but I’m here. Can I love me even if I have nothing? I am worthy. Japanese translation: 私は価値ある人間か？ 何もなくとも？私は価値ある人間だろうか？ どうやって心を休めたらいい？少し休んでもい い？どうしたらいい？ 常識は崩れ去っている。私たちはどこへ向かっ ているのか？地図は白紙に戻ったのだ。 鏡を見て、自分を見つめるんだ。 誰もいないけれど、私はここだ。 何もなくても、私は私を愛せるだろうか？ 私にはできるはずだ。私には価

about

For most of us, 2020 has come with a lot of uncertainty. Everything from our health to job security to the presidential election has us doubting ourselves at every turn. In contrast to our day to day struggles, together with the help of Brooke D, Yoshiki Yamada, Noah MacNeil and Unkle Nephew FKAjazz created “From Where We Start,” a song experience with the intention to fill you with a sense of imagination and purpose. It is a reminder of our worth and the strength we have within us to conquer the challenges we face.

Brooke D.’s lyrics pose the question, “Am I worthy?” But although the question is asked (actually several questions throughout the song), it is clear that these questions are laid out for you (the listener) to ask yourself and to eventually answer for yourself as well. In other words, “From Where We Start” is a self-empowering song.
