    Once Beloved

    by: Lara Rose

    Verse 1
    Everybody, and the way they look at me
    Like I'm some kind of rebel
    What do they know about my life
    And the world I'm living
    You know that people, are allowed their freedom, and identity
    Don't let 'em tie you to the railings of conformity
    Chorus
    Rise up from the ways
    (Rise up from the ways)
    To a higher place
    (To a higher place)
    See the skies above
    (See the skies above)
    What was once beloved!
    Verse 2
    Take me to the angels, see what the good book says
    Take me to the farmers, for the good lands sake
    Take me to the land where a woman can be who she can
    Is there anything left to die for
    Prophets and Martyrs, I heard IT ALL BEFORE
    IS there anything left to believe in anymore?
    Chorus
    Verse 3
    In the city, the melody can get so low
    In the city, the people seem to walk so slow
    Just remember, there's a place inside, we all need to go
    Chorus
    Adlib
    (Take me to a higher place)
