Till The Water Runs Clear
Close your eyes, there, can you see it?
The lens through which you judge the things I say
Looks 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
'Till the water runs clear, clear
'Till the water runs clear
You say we're the same, yeah, do you mean it?
When you say you don't see colour, don't see me
And my inherited shame, yeah, can you feel it?
The burden of my father now on me
I don't think I'm made for this world
It wants me straight, but I huddle up and curl
But I don't wanna 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
'Till the water runs clear, clear
'Till the water runs clear
The lens through which you judge the things I say
Looks 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
'Till the water runs clear, clear
'Till the water runs clear
You say we're the same, yeah, do you mean it?
When you say you don't see colour, don't see me
And my inherited shame, yeah, can you feel it?
The burden of my father now on me
I don't think I'm made for this world
It wants me straight, but I huddle up and curl
But I don't wanna 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
'Till the water runs clear, clear
'Till the water runs clear
