Song Description

A lament about life and hope in one person.

Lyrics

I Turn to Mary

I cling to a cause on the brink of a dream
Dissolved in the blood of Mary?s life stream.
To concur is a risk, but to know is to be
On the shore of survival with her next to me.

I turn now to Mary
When the scream touches air
When the struggle breaks free
And I try not to care.
I turn now to Mary
When the soul cries for more
When the feet will not walk
Like they would not before.

I return now to Mary on a path far too long
For the distance travelled while righting a wrong.
I acknowledge bliss as I strive now for more
The pills help me think and help me endure.

I turn now to Mary
When the scream touches air
When the struggle breaks free
And I try not to care.
I turn now to Mary
When the soul cries for more
When the feet will not walk
Like they would not before.

Touching base, touching memory to know what?s real
In a world where illusion is something I feel.
My heart is at war with time and real love
And Mary?s the key to what lies above.

I turn now to Mary
When the scream touches air
When the struggle breaks free
And I try not to care.
I turn now to Mary
When the soul cries for more
When the feet will not walk
Like they would not before.
