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' My beloved The only one I see standing up for me 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
