Maria - Alice Walker

It seems we fight 'til the end, but still we run in circles

Now it feels like the end, why don’t you just desert us

Like in the desert he could think

And though he couldn’t have a drink

I bet he took a little time to think:

«I could have had it all

Like just because my dad says so it doesn’t make it right you know»

And I have the power in my hands, I have the thought and it makes sense

And though I shouldn’t say but here we go…

I ate this apple a while ago

It looked so sweet and crunchy so

I took a bite and ever since

I had these thoughts that made no sense

Like I somehow see what’s right from wrong

I somehow know a song’s a song

And singing never fed the world but singing never felt so good

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

I don’t really wanna go, go, go

Go, go, go

A clever word is loyalty

The strongest thing is family

And yes I promised I would go, to save the world, but on my own

I’ve never been so isolated

Never felt like I could breathe

But now I go to show my honor

But know that I don’t want to leave

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

I don’t really wanna go, go, go

Go, go, go

I’m learning now to keep it quiet

I don’t want this, or to survive

I have no feeling either way

I do not care so go away

I didn’t want to get involved

It’s not my fault you’re unresolved

It’s not my fault they chose their way

They chose their life, I’m not afraid

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

Oh my Maria

I don’t really wanna go, go, go

Go, go, go

It seems we fight 'til the end, but still we run in circles

Now it feels like the end, why don’t you just desert us

I have the power in my hands, I have the thought and it makes sense

And though I shouldn’t say but here we go…

I don’t really wanna go, go, go

Go, go, go
