Testo di 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 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
