Hoo
Ah, ha
[Verse 1]
There she stands and watches me
Never once do her eyes close
I wonder what she thinks
I wonder what she knows
Am I [?] that is worthy to receive?
Will I witness another day?
Will life be all that I believe?
[Chorus]
Mother Mary, tell me, tell me
What do you see? (What do you see?)
What do you see?
(Mother Mary)
Mother Mary, bless me, grant me
This before I leave, hoo
[Verse 2]
Flowers drowned in snowflakes
Gardenias in the air
Understanding the final step
Will make you more aware
Watch the stars multiply
And dance throughout the night
Guided by the eternal ball
To a place of
[Chorus]
Mother Mary, tell me, tell me
What do you see?
What do you see?
Oh, Mother Mary, bless me, grant me
This before I leave (Before I leave)
Mother Mary, cry no more your (Mother Mary)
Your son is finally free
Finally free
Mother Mary, tell me, tell me (Mother Mary)
What do you see? (What do you see?)
What do you see?
[Bridge]
We're all
A victim of the backside hand
In one way or another
The flesh is weak
The mind is strong
Don't let yourself be smothered
'Cause you've got to (Follow the light inside)
Follow the light inside your heart, Mother Mary
[Chorus]
Mother Mary, tell me, tell me (Yeah, yeah, oo)
What do you see?
What do you see?
Oh, Mother Mary, bless me, grant me
This before I leave (This before I leave)
Mother Mary, cry no more your (Don't you cry)
Son is finally free (Your son is finally free)
Finally free
Oh, Mother Mary, tell me, tell me
What do you see? (What do you see?)
What do you see? (Oo-hmm)
Mother Mary, bless me, grant me
This before I leave
Mother Mary, cry no more your (Don't you cry no more)
Son is finally free (Your son)
Finally free
Mother Mary, tell me, tell me
