Mother Mary 

(Words and music by Kirk McLeod, arranged by Seven Nations) 



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
