Testo Mary

Healing herself
Healing the world and me as well
We rarely see how far we shine

She's digging in
Seeking her answers there within
Leaving a younger girl behind
Mary is on her way to womanhood
Mary is on her way to home
Mary is like a play
Can't read ahead
More to be said
Mary is like a living koan

Mary Christmas
Mary New Year
Mary, let your heart be known

Caring for strays
Seems like that's always been her way
She sees what other people don't
She took me in
Knew when I needed most a friend
Room to defend, and room to grow

Mary is on her way to womanhood
Mary is on her way to home
Mary is like a play
Can't read ahead
More to be said
Mary is like a living koan

Mary Christmas
Mary New Year
Mary, let your heart be known
