S.J. Tucker - Mary, Mary lyrics
[S.J. Tucker - Mary, Mary lyrics]
Ooh, mary mary what burdens you carry
Heart and mind both broken
Damage no one would believe
Ooh, mary mary what scars you must carry
Sin runs in the family running all
The way back to Eve
Fire is only fire gods have many names
They'll stone you like a liar if
You dare dance in the flames
And know yourself a woman
Fear hand in hand with "I don't understand"
The hate will flow as quick, as strong
As water from your hand
Blood from your baby's wounded hand
He came without your asking
No laughter in the summer night
Gods and angels come and go just as men
And who are we to fight?
To know ourselves as daughters and
Take pride in the phrase
Takes courage, strength, and wisdom
But they used you
Used you up in so many ways
Ooh, Mary Mary what burdens you carry
A prophet and his mother -both of you insane
Ooh, Mary Mary what scars you must carry
They'll honor your sweet name and never
Know the truth of pain
Your painas daughters we have suffered all
The slander of these years
Blame, mistrust and evil dance the
Galliard of our fears
So next time he calls you baby
And belittles all your tears
Let him know your strength is
Boundless as your frailty disappears
Sun sinks below the ground
Gaudy pink and gold
The maiden sit's believing in the
Lie she's madly told as mother
Sit's believing in the miracles she's told
Like biting backward glances
Mary's chances all dried up and gone
Tell me boy, would you take your chance to
Be the chosen one?
Carpenter and harlot unwavering eye to eye
To see the other sides of the
Old original sin original lie
Ooh, Mary Mary what burdens you carry
Slivers of the goddess that they
Never let us see
Ooh, Mary Mary what scars you must carry
Too late we resurrect you
Reverently set you free
(wish we could have set you free)
Heart and mind both broken
Damage no one would believe
Ooh, mary mary what scars you must carry
Sin runs in the family running all
The way back to Eve
Fire is only fire gods have many names
They'll stone you like a liar if
You dare dance in the flames
And know yourself a woman
Fear hand in hand with "I don't understand"
The hate will flow as quick, as strong
As water from your hand
Blood from your baby's wounded hand
He came without your asking
No laughter in the summer night
Gods and angels come and go just as men
And who are we to fight?
To know ourselves as daughters and
Take pride in the phrase
Takes courage, strength, and wisdom
But they used you
Used you up in so many ways
Ooh, Mary Mary what burdens you carry
A prophet and his mother -both of you insane
Ooh, Mary Mary what scars you must carry
They'll honor your sweet name and never
Know the truth of pain
Your painas daughters we have suffered all
The slander of these years
Blame, mistrust and evil dance the

So next time he calls you baby
And belittles all your tears
Let him know your strength is
Boundless as your frailty disappears
