Beloved

They say that they dont know me
Never saw my face
And if theyve never been there
Can they be sure theres such a place
They think if they dont answer
The world will pass them by
But theres a fire in their kitchen
And the waters three feet high and risin
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
Someones shouting at me
Youre 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
Theres not much use to curse the damned
And theres power in nothing to lose
Someones spitin blood
Face down in the dirt
Someones thinking about a gun
To try and stop the hurt
Someone drew conclusions
On the wall of destiny
Someones getting louder
And that someone would be me
You think if you dont answer
The world will pass you by
But theres a fire in your kitchen
And the waters three feet high and risin
