Beloved Melissa Etheridge

[Verse 1]
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'

[Chorus]
My beloved
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
My beloved
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
My beloved
My beloved
Close my eyes, heal my pride
Close my eyes, heal my pride
