Jean's Interlude Lyrics

You know, while we're doing all this, your dad was having a lot of problems at that time

A lot of legal problems

I don't know how many times we had to go see the judge, go to the court, find a lawyer

and this and that

At least at that time, Grandpa was making good money

So finally I got graduated and got a job

Working part-time at night as a nurse aide in the hospital

And we worked really, really hard

"What year was that?" - Ausi

1995

"Wow" - Ausi

And I worked for 21 years as a nurse

It's not easy, but at least you have a different focus..

You're hoping for the best

Something better to come along instead of getting stuck onto that "thing"

And not able to get out of that awful situation

But going back to school, selling off our restaurant, that's a big, risky step

It was so scary

Because we had nobody here

We didn't have any friends

We didn't have anybody that we could talk to

And people looked down on us, too

"oh those Chinese people..."

And so that's why I say we just have to do the best we can
