Mother Mary Songtext
von Stephen Simmonds

Now I know you got a lot to do
People always trying to bother you
And it′s gotta be a busy time
From Korea down to Columbine
People looking up and kicking down
Ain't a lot left to go around
It′s never what you are but what you got
And everybody wanna be on top
But you've given us a life to lead
And there's gotta be some good in greed
Evil times we gotta stick it out
It′s gonna take a lot to turn around
But you take the good and multiply
Add a little love and lose the pride
All together now or on your own
People let me know which side you′re on


So Mother Mary, watch over me
My soul is empty, I don't believe
Won′t you take me away to a place that I'll
Be happy and high ′til the day I die

People, I don't know what you′ve been told
I wanna sex, drugs, rock and roll
I wanna meet a lot of pretty girls
I wanna be the one to save the world
What I'm trying to get my life to be
Like a video on MTV
I keep running out of faith in time
And evil things getting amplified
But ain't nobody advertising pain
People always getting paid to change
Whatever happened to the be yourself?
I got a lot of angry tears to sell
But you take the good and multiply
Add a little love and lose the pride
All together now or on your own
People let me know which side you′re on


So Mother Mary, watch over me
My soul is empty, I don′t believe
Won't you take me away to a place that I′ll
Be happy and high 'til the day I die
So Mother Mary, watch over me
My soul is empty, I don′t believe
Won't you take me away to a place that I′ll
Be happy and high 'til the day I die

People, I don't know what you′ve been told
I wanna sex, drugs, rock and roll
I wanna meet a lot of pretty girls
I wanna be the one to save the world
What I′m trying to get my life to be
Like a video on MTV
I keep running out of faith in time
And evil things getting amplified
But ain't nobody advertising pain
People always getting paid to change
Whatever happened to the be yourself?
I got a lot of angry tears to sell
But you take the good and multiply
Add a little love and lose the pride
All together now or on your own
People let me know which side you′re on

So Mother Mary, watch over me
My soul is empty, I don't believe
Won′t you take me away to a place that I'll
Be happy and high ′til the day I die
So Mother Mary, watch over me
My soul is empty, I don't believe
Won't you take me away to a place that I′ll
Be happy and high ′til the day I die
