 LYRICS 

"Mary"

Music & Lyrics by: Laura Espinoza

 

Verse 1

Mary’s like no one before

Love’s too small she wanted more

She said I better have a key

‘Cause to live is never free

Her friends all said to keep away

Walk away you’ll be ok
But I felt I had to stay

When young Mary said

These words to me (she said):

 

Chorus

I want so hard to be set free

From everyone who judges me

I want to live a life someday

A world away from yesterday

 

Verse 2

Mary is the name she wore
When she came upon my door

When I asked her what she said
She looked at me and shook her head

I’m sacrificed, I can’t be found
I’m floating ice placed on burning ground, and I...

 

Chorus

Verse 3

I found young Mary on her floor
Her pretty self but nothing more
I thought you said your life would change

But in the end, it was all in vain

Mary you were just a girl

Forsaken by your vexatious world... You told me:

 

Chorus

 

I want so hard to be set free

From everyone who judges me

I want to live a life someday
A world where all could know me

A home where love would hold me

A world away from yesterday
