Beloved

They say that they don´t know me
Never saw my face
And if they´ve never been there
Can they be sure there´s such a place
They think if they don´t answer
The world will pass them by
But there´s a fire in their kitchen
And the water´s three feet high and risin´
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
Someone´s shouting at me
You´re all going to hell
Must not be too far away
Sometimes I can never tell
My shoes are still as empty
A mile they never walked
Send in their donation
And they never have to talk again
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
My beloved
Close my eyes heal my pride
I just want to show them who I am
I just want to show them what I can do
There´s not much use to curse the damned
And there´s power in nothing to lose
Someone´s spitin´ blood
Face down in the dirt
Someone´s thinking about a gun
To try and stop the hurt
Someone drew conclusions
On the wall of destiny
Someone´s getting louder
And that someone would be me
You think if you don´t answer
The world will pass you by
But there´s a fire in your kitchen
And the water´s three feet high and risin´
Never saw my face
And if they´ve never been there
Can they be sure there´s such a place
They think if they don´t answer
The world will pass them by
But there´s a fire in their kitchen
And the water´s three feet high and risin´
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
Someone´s shouting at me
You´re all going to hell
Must not be too far away
Sometimes I can never tell
My shoes are still as empty
A mile they never walked
Send in their donation
And they never have to talk again
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
My beloved
Close my eyes heal my pride
I just want to show them who I am
I just want to show them what I can do
There´s not much use to curse the damned
And there´s power in nothing to lose
Someone´s spitin´ blood
Face down in the dirt
Someone´s thinking about a gun
To try and stop the hurt
Someone drew conclusions
On the wall of destiny
Someone´s getting louder
And that someone would be me
You think if you don´t answer
The world will pass you by
But there´s a fire in your kitchen
And the water´s three feet high and risin´
