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 me […]
