Mother Mary

Mother mary, your hold on me

Denies my feelings

From those who can see

Your sacred wisdom

Can caress my soul

Confused and forsaken

By what I've been told

It always sounded so right to me

To offer my prayers

With the hope to be free

Mother mary, is this wrong for me

To judge myself by what you see

And if I stand here

Will you stand by me

If the choice that I make

Is the choice to be me

I've heard your words

In so many ways

Do I trust myself

Beyond your praise

My heart has been touched

By something said

I want to go with her

I want to be led

I knelt at your side

Did you feel me

I gave you my all

To be nearer to thee

Mother mary, is this wrong for me

To judge myself by what you see

And if I stand here

Will you stand by me

If the choice that I make

Is the choice to be me

You know I'll always be there

You know I'll always be there

You know I'll always be there

Can't you show me a way to believe

Have I been enlightened, misled or deceived

It always sounded so right to me

To offer my prayers

With the hope to be free

Mother mary, is this wrong for me

To judge myself by what you see

And if I stand here

Will you stand by me

If the choice that I make

Is the choice to be me
