Mary's Prayer
Lizette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being here is heavenly
Every single day she sends
Everything is free
I used to be so careless
As if I couldn't care less
Did I have to make this mess
When I was Mary's prayer?
Suddenly the rain came down
Suddenly was washed away
The Mary that I knew
So when you find somebody you keep
Think of me and celebrate
I made such a big mistake
When I was Mary's prayer
So if I say, save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven for me
Blessed is the one who shares
Your power and your beauty, Mary
Blessed is the millionaire
Who shares your wedding-day
So when you find somebody you keep
Think of me and celebrate
I made such a big mistake
When I was Mary's prayer
So if I say, save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven for me
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven for me
If you want the fruit to fall
You have to give the tree a shake
If you shake the tree too hard
The bough is going to break
And if I can't reach the top of the tree
Mary, you can blow me up there
What I wouldn't give to be
When I was Mary's prayer
So if I say, save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven
Save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
What I wouldn't give to be
When I was Mary's prayer
What I wouldn't give to be
When I was Mary's prayer
What I wouldn't give to be
When I was Mary's prayer

Everything is wonderful
The state of the world around me is blissful
Being here is heavenly
The present moment feels divine
Every single day she sends
Each day, she sends a message
Everything is free
All things are given without cost
I used to be so careless
I once acted recklessly
As if I couldn't care less
So much so that I seemed indifferent
Did I have to make this mess
Have I caused the situation that I am now in?
When I was Mary's prayer?
When I used to ask Mary for guidance?
Suddenly the Heavens roared
All of a sudden, there was a loud celestial noise
Suddenly the rain came down
Rainfall arrived abruptly
Suddenly was washed away
Things were erased in an instant
The Mary that I knew
The Mary whom I had previously known
So when you find somebody you keep
When you find someone special, don't let them go

Blessed is the one who shares
Fortunate is the person who distributes
Your power and your beauty, Mary
Your potency and allure, Mary
Blessed is the millionaire
Fortunate is the wealthy person
Who shares your wedding-day
Who unites with you on your special day
If you want the fruit to fall
If you desire the fruit to be retrieved
You have to give the tree a shake
You must jostle the tree
If you shake the tree too hard
If you shake it excessively
The bough is going to break
The branch will snap
And if I can't reach the top of the tree
And if I can't get to the crown of the tree
Mary, you can blow me up there
Mary, could you assist me in getting there?
What I wouldn't give to be
How humbly I wish to return
When I was Mary's prayer
When I relied on Mary's guidance
Save me, save me
Help me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
Illuminate my vision
What I wouldn't give to be
How humbly I wish to return
When I was Mary's prayer
When I relied on Mary's guidance
What I wouldn't give to be
How humbly I wish to return
When I was Mary's prayer
When I relied on Mary's guidance
