Lyrics Till The Water Runs Clear – Maria Mena
Close your eyes
There, can you see it
The lens through which you judge the things I say
It’s just like mine if you can believe it
But it ultimately differs night and day
When I try to make it nice, it gets worse
And no amount of love can change the course
The more I try to smooth out the cracks
I just can’t seem to get you off my back
Is it too late For me
How will I be remembered when I leave
Let it rain on me
Let the water trickle down until I’m clean
Until the water runs clear
Clear
‘Til the water runs clear
Clear
‘Til the water runs clear
You say we’re the same, yeah
Do you mean it
When you say you don’t see color, don’t see me
Am I .. to chain, yeah
Can you feel it
The burden of my father now on me
I don’t think I’m meant for this world
It wants me straight, but I huddle up and curl
But I don’t want to give up the fight
It’s black or white, it’s wrong or right, and I am just a girl
Is it too late For me
How will I be remembered when I leave
Let it rain on me
Let the water trickle down until I’m clean
Until the water runs clear
Clear
‘Til the water runs clear
Clear
Ah-ah-ah..
‘Til the water runs clear…
