[Intro]
Lazy sun
Red doors open
Steam in the air
Weekend golden
[Verse 1]
Push cart coming through
Grandma waving “over here”
Tiny plates, big history
Whole story in a bite this clear
Chopsticks tap like talking
Cousins trading seats, too loud
Uncle pouring jasmine tea
Smiling, counting up the crowd
Little kids chase each other
Around chairs, around time
Old songs lace through the speakers
Past and present intertwine
[Chorus]
Rollin' dim sum carts
Round and round our hearts
Every dish a little blessing
Every laugh a new start
Stacking plates like memories
High as all our dreams
We’re tasting where we came from
Right here in this feast
[Verse 2]
Har gow glow, thin skin
Translucent, almost light
Turnip cake, pan-kissed
Crisp on the edge, soft inside
Bamboo lids lifting
Clouds of warmth rise slow
Shrimp toast disappearing
“Save one for me” (you know)
Grandpa telling war-time tales
Between each careful chew
How he crossed an ocean wide
So we could share this view
[Chorus]
Rollin' dim sum carts
Round and round our hearts
Every dish a little blessing
Every laugh a new start
Stacking plates like memories
High as all our dreams
We’re tasting where we came from
Right here in this feast
[Bridge]
From the first light tea
To the last sweet bite
We pass the bowls
We pass our lives
Every “eat more, eat more”
Means “I love you, stay”
In this crowded, clattering room
We celebrate another day (hey!)
[Chorus]
Rollin' dim sum carts
Round and round our hearts
Every dish a little blessing
Every laugh a new start
Stacking plates like memories
High as all our dreams
We’re tasting where we came from
Right here in this feast
