Mother Mary Lyrics

Mother Mary close enough to dying
Knows what she wants
And still keeps on trying on for
Words to help open closed doors
I saw I child playing with a tire
Running past a slogan painted on his playground wall
It said it didn't want him there at all

But everyone can mean something
Anyone can mean anything
And you're the one that means everything to me

Here's a farmer working in his field
He plants his corn and now he has to pray for rain
He stares up to the skies in vain
An unknown airman waiting for forever
He leaves his tomb and now he's on his way back home
I'm sure he never waited there alone

But everyone can mean something
Anyone can mean anything
And you're the one that means everything to me

Once I dreamt I flew across the ocean
From the sky I waved to the fish below
I could feel them in my soul
Further on I came across a whaler
I looked in closer; the whales had the harpoon guns
The chase had just begun

But everyone can mean something
Anyone can mean anything
And you're the one that means everything to me

Mother Mary close enough to dying
Knows what she wants
And still keeps on trying on for
Words to help open closed doors
I saw I child playing with a tire
Running past a slogan painted on his playground wall
It said it didn't want him there at all

But everyone can mean something
Anyone can mean anything
And you're the one that means everything to me

Here's a farmer working in his field
He plants his corn and now he has to pray for rain
He stares up to the skies in vain
An unknown airman waiting for forever
He leaves his tomb and now he's on his way back home
I'm sure he never waited there alone

But everyone can mean something
Anyone can mean anything
And you're the one that means everything to me

Once I dreamt I flew across the ocean
From the sky I waved to the fish below
I could feel them in my soul
Further on I came across a whaler
I looked in closer; the whales had the harpoon guns
The chase had just begun

But everyone can mean something
Anyone can mean anything
And you're the one that means everything to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
