When I'm in need of wisdom
And butchered to the knee
I look up in disbelief
Hope Mother Mary will speak to me

But in my darkest moments
There wasn't a hand to help
My heart shattered to pieces
Had to pick them up by myself

Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
Will everything work out as it should?
Will it all be alright?
Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
You may not speak to me
Will you get me through the night

I've got 31 years of life
Most of it on my own
Whatever was and will be
Well just put that on my stone

Have you ever been in a place
Where everything turned out to be great?
Spend enough time everyone
So impossibly up-to-date

Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
Will everything work out as it should?
Will it all be alright?
Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
You may not speak to me
Will you get me through the night

I did my best to welcome you
For giving you a shot
Never believed
Though I did achieve
Now look at what I got
So when I look up in desperation
I feel no support nor consideration
Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
Will everything work out as it should?
Will it all be alright?
Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
Won't you speak to me, speak to me, speak to me!
Oooh ooow oow
Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
Will everything work out as it should?
Will it all be alright?
Ooh oow Mary
Sweet Mother Mary
You may not speak to me
Will you get me through the night
