lyric of the yesterday 2/12/08
Sorry, thought I posted this last night. I get into grooves with music - like many of us do - and can't shake certain songs, certain parts of songs. So I apologize for all the Melissa Etheridge posts recently. This one has been in my head pretty much since Sunday, and one of the lines has morphed into my status message for my IM clients.
Someone's spittin' blood,
Face down in the dirt.
Someone's thinkin' about a gun
To try and stop the hurt.
Someone drew conclusions
On the wall of destiny
Someone's gettin' louder.
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'
- Melissa Etheridge, "Beloved"
