THE ALICE PROJECT: MP3's and lyrics
I See Mary
(THE ALICE PROJECT)
2008-05
Alice Leon and Jimmy Leahey
This is a song about faith. I couldn't believe that 250,000 worshipers were all crazy. I tried to put myself in their place and realized that I, too, need to believe that there's something out there bigger than me pulling all this chaos together.
I See Mary
I see Mary and I think she sees me
Up in the window just beyond that tree
And all the people are gathering around
I’m not the only one she found
And I believe, I believe that she is with me now
I believe, I believe that it’s a sign
And Mary sees me
I see something, it might just be the rain
Condensation on the window pain
You think I’m crazy, but I am not so resigned
To think that there’s no one watching over me
And I’m floating hopelessly
And I believe, I believe that she is with me now
I believe, I believe that it’s a sign
And Mary sees me
I can’t look away
I can’t run away
And here I sit in the pouring rain
I see Mary and I think she sees me
And I can’t walk away
I’d rather stay where there’s hope and I pray for a time when
We’ll all believe, I believe that she is with me
I believe, I believe that she came to share her love
I believe, I believe that she is with me now
I believe, I believe that it’s a sign
And Mary sees me
