Beloved

They say that they don't know meNever saw my faceAnd if they've never been thereCan they be sure there's such a placeThey think if they don't answerThe world will pass them byBut there's a fire in their kitchenAnd the water's three feet high and risin'My belovedThe only one I see standing up for meSomeone's shouting at meYou're all going to hellMust not be too far awaySometimes I can never tellMy shoes are still as emptyA mile they never walkedSend in their donationAnd they never have to talk againMy belovedThe only one I see standing up for meMy belovedClose my eyes heal my prideI just want to show them who I amI just want to show them what I can doThere's not much use to curse the damnedAnd there's power in nothing to loseSomeone's spitin' bloodFace down in the dirtSomeone's thinking about a gunTo try and stop the hurtSomeone drew conclusionsOn the wall of destinySomeone's getting louderAnd that someone would be meYou think if you don't answerThe world will pass you byBut there's a fire in your kitchenAnd the water's three feet high and risin'
