Like the Ocean
when i was a girl, they told me the world was made by a man my father ran ran ran ran he ran
i was only four i was lying by the door my mother she rocked me back and forth we cried and cried i remember that night
then i went to school and i swallowed all the rules i was nervous and ashamed nobody knew my name they said i wasn't normal my mother said the same they didn't teach me much, they told me i should pray i prayed i prayed i prayed
when i was a girl they told me in this world there's black and there's white you're wrong or you're right i didn't feel well and i didn't fit in i was twelve years old and i felt like sin
when i was a girl they told me in this world some things fit and some things dont a man and a woman a man and a woman that's what he wrote this we know Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
the priest looked at me with his big blue eyes told me my love was the devil in disguise my mother wouldn't look at me her eyes were black i remember that night i didn't come back i ran ran ran i ran
when i was 16 i heard a woman's voice she said truth is subjective we've all got a choice believe what you feel and question what they say everyone's really just guessing anyway i thought that you should know this
i read mother jones her words rattled in my bones i learned about revolution, i don't throw stones i think what i think and i say what i see i cut my own hair and i am who i be and i love who i love who i love like the ocean i love who i love who i love like the ocean i love who i love who i love like the ocean
