Lyrics
I took down the photos of
The camp team off my wall
And then I cried myself to sleep but I think they were clueless
I put up a photo of the holy mother Mary
I didn't hear your rage, instead, a peaceful silence
I always saw you more in her
Than I ever did in a man's face
The loneliness, the sadness that she weathered
A giver through and through
Just 33 short years with you
She looks to me and whispers "we're in this together"
And I still think I haven't learned your name yet
Or at least I haven't spoken it aloud
But you reveal what you are to me
Wherever I am, however I need
All I tried to do was make you proud
The real God
I am your
Your fraud
I'll love you
Until my
Heart stops
Mary came to me within
A daydream reverie
Intruding into whatever thought I was stuck on
She smiled in that way
Only the best moms can and stayed
Inside my mind all day, adjusting all my actions
I sensed her in my sister
And I saw her in myself
And I heard her in your rain after the drought
I think you rescheduled that storm for me
You gave me nudges, signs to read
I always loved you more once church let out
And I still think I haven't learned your name yet
Or at least I haven't spoken it aloud
Yet you still reveal what you are for me
Wherever I am, however I need
All I tried to do was make you proud
The real God
I am your
Your fraud
I'll love you
Until my
Heart stops
I met God in one of my past lives,
I don't remember ever
Hearing him say he wanted this for me
For my sister or my mother
Or my children or my brother
I hang my head
And Mary weeps in pity
God
I am your
Your fraud
God
I've broken
Your heart
The real God
I am your
Your fraud
I'll love you
Until my
Heart stops
Mary came to me within a daydream reverie
She held my hand and whispered
"We're in this together"
