Gaby Moreno - Letter to a Mad Woman

A letter came to him today
Said he really should obey
What an utter outrage
Someone could think that way
She said you better start to pray
If all you people wanna get saved
"We're perfection, you're a disgrace
Make no mistake"

He's just passing the days
Trying not to feel blue
But it's all he can stand
They keep on feeding him the lies
Nothing else he can do
But to hope and to pray for this nonsense to change
But it won't so he's back in his gloom..

Sir you mean to imply
What I've said it's all a lie
Can you look me in the eye
And justify
Well I think you've all gone mad
There's so much loving to be had
Change your tune and I'll be glad
Tolerance ain't no fad

He's just passing the days
Trying not to feel blue
But it's all he can stand
They keep on feeding him the lies
Nothing else he can do
But to hope and to pray for this nonsense to change
But it won't so he's back in his room...

You offer solution
I'm hearing confusion
You stand there so proud and confident
I'm only one person
It could be so much worse
You say I must change what I believe it's true

They keep on feeding us the lies
Nothing else for us to do
But to hope and to pray for this dust to disappear
So we all see a little more clear
