Side by side, my face reflected in your eyes
Light up the night, I let you be my guide
Hope and mercy, you and I
Pray for mercy, you and I

Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Please don't
Don't your turn back

Yeah, I feel something like a heart quake under our days
So real, my skin, under pressure, feel the tremors
Understanding is all I ask
Please have mercy, don't turn your back

Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Please don't
Don't your turn back
Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Please don't
Don't your turn back

I wish that you could see
Mercy for you and me
I wish that you could see
Mercy for you and me
I wish that you could see
Mercy for you and me
I wish that you could see
Mercy for you and me
We all say stuff that hurts sometimes
But it's not enough to break this heart of love

Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Oh, oh, oh
Maria
Please don't
Don't your turn back
