Lyric discussion by Gori11aBear 

imagine this song being sung by an orphan to a mother that he's never meet that in his mind he's called her Mary to bring her to life and closer to him?

"Being here is heavenly" - is a thank you for the gift of life.

"I made such a big mistake When I was Mary's Prayer "

  • this is the thought that, as Mary's "mistake" - he knows that she is thinking about him... he's in her prayers everyday, hopefully.

"If you want the fruit to fall ...... etc" - references the apple not falling far from the tree and trying to "give the tree a shake" to trace his mother.

"But if you shake the tree too hard, The bough is gonna break "

  • maybe he might not be able to handle what he finds?

And if I can't reach the top of the tree Mary you can hold me up there What I wouldn't give to be When I was Mary's prayer

  • maybe he can't trace his real mother? If not, he'd give anything to just be in his mother's thoughts - whether she's passed on or not.

Sorry but your post is pretty funny.
