Mother Mary Lyrics - Mr. Jordan - Julian Lennon

Mother Mary, your hold on me 

Denies my feelings 

From those who can see 

Your sacred wisdom can caress my soul 

Confused and forsaken 

By what I've been told 

It always sounded so right to me 

To offer my prayers with the hope to be free 

Mother Mary, is this wrong for me 

To judge myself by what you see 

And if I stand here, will you stand by me? 

If the choice that I make is the choice to be me 

I've heard your words 

In so many ways 

Do I trust myself 

Beyond your praise? 

My heart has been touched 

By something said 

I want to go with her 

I want to be led 

I knelt at your side 

Did you feel me? 

I gave you my all 

To be nearer to thee 

Mother Mary, is this wrong for me 

To judge myself by what you see 

And if I stand here, will you stand by me? 

If the choice that I make is the choice to be me 

You know I'll always be there 

You know I'll always be there 

You know I'll always be there 

Can't you show me a way to believe? 

Have I been enlightened, misled or deceived? 

It always sounded so right to me 

To offer my prayers 

With the hope to be free 

Mother Mary, is this wrong for me 

To judge myself by what you see 

And if I stand here, will you stand by me? 

If the choice that I make is the choice to be me
