Beloved — текст песни (Melissa Etheridge)

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`
