Mother Mary, your hold on me
Denies my feelings
From those who can see
Your sacred wisdom can caress my soulConfused and forsaken
By what I've been told
It always sounded so right to me
To offer my prayers with the hope to be freeMother 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 meI'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 ledI knelt at your side
Did you feel me?
I gave you my all
To be nearer to theeMother 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 meYou know I'll always be there
You know I'll always be there
You know I'll always be thereCan'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 freeMother 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
