[Intro]
Dear Maria...
Please hear me when I cry?
Give me hope where I have none
I wish to meet you on the earth
Remember me when I stood before you
In the flesh

[Chorus]
Wash off with your holy hands
My tears ... and bless me
Show me your face
Just as you promised me you would
You promised me

[Verse 1]
When I think back
To terrible truths unfolding in my life and me:
A growing baby child
I wonder:
Where werе you Maria
When I was a laughing stock?
Swaying in the midst of the blowing winds?
Rеd with holy blood
My heart a bloody mess
Your face turned away
Even though you promised me
You promised me
You promised me
You promised me
You promised me
[Verse 2]
You closed your eyes
As they kneaded my body with their blows
You closed your ears:
Far from you my cries
Please open your mouth
Speak for my spirit
My spirit

[Outro]
Dear Maria
Please hear me when I cry
Give me hope where I have none
I wish to Meet you in Heaven
Please remember me when I’m stood before you
On that day
