Maria Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

Maria, she′s too young to understand
But old enough to feel the pain
Of living where no love can grow
With no hope for change
Maria, her world is an angry place
But she makes sure the scars don't show
And with every hurt
Her tender heart is growing cold
But who, who′s gonna love Maria
Who, who's gonna touch her
With the tenderness she longs for
Like a desert longs for rain
She's got a hunger deep inside
And with every tear she cries
She wonders if there′s someone out there
Somewhere, who′s gonna love Maria
She looks in the mirror now
And the little girl is gone
But still the search for someone's love
Goes on and on for Maria


But does anybody care
Or even notice her at all
Is anyone listening close enough
To hear her call
And who, who′s gonna love Maria
Who, who's gonna touch her
With the tenderness she longs for
Like a desert longs for rain
She′s got a hunger deep inside
And with every tear she cries
She wonders if there's someone out there
Maria, if you can hear me
Please know that you′re not forgotten
Somebody's trying to get to you
Who, who's gonna love Maria
Who, who′s gonna touch her
With the tenderness she longs for
Like a desert longs for rain
She′s got a hunger deep inside
And with every tear she cries
She wonders if there's someone out there
Somewhere, who′s gonna love Maria
Maria, there's someone out there
Who′s gonna love Maria
Who, who's gonna take the time
To hear her call
And wipe away the tears that fall for Maria
Who′s gonna love Maria
