Beloved Lyrics - Breakdown - 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 

Photos 

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'
