Beliefs
Texas · Mothers Heaven
It's something I can feel
I hear you chant every other day
I think it's not quite real
Covered up so close
So as not to see
Are you happy, are you happy this way
Stop and look around the world
So many different ways to see ourselves
Is it right or wrong
to put your beliefs on me
to put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
A distance that is more than miles
Such a long, long way
It's fine for men to be westernised
Will a woman ever see that day
Maybe, maybe it's not for me to understand
Do you think, do you think
Do you think it's better that way
to put your beliefs on me
to put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
to put your beliefs on me
to put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
Stop and look around the world
So many different ways to see ourselves
Is it right or wrong
to put your beliefs on me
to put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
to put your beliefs on me
to put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
