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
|
|
