Like the Ocean Paroles

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 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
