Mother Mary, Mother, take me
Mother Mary, show me how
Leave my pain and separation
Mother, take me with you now

You know trouble, you know sorrow
You have seen this all before
You have heard so many prayers
I ask you now to hear one more

Mother Mary, Mother, take me
Mother Mary, show me how
Leave my pain and separation
Mother, take me with you now

Something slowly grows inside me
Something makes a pleading sound
Every day a little louder
Tell me, will it take me down?

Mother Mary, Mother, take me
Mother Mary, show me how
Leave my pain and separation
Mother, take me with you now

In the morning we'll be leaving
Float your swift and winding stream
To the mouth and then the delta
To the source of my blue dreams
Where all is love and all is water
All is hope and all is light
Melt away what separates us
Take me into glory's light

Mother Mary, Mother, take me
Mother Mary, show me how
Leave my pain and separation
Mother, take me with you now

You know trouble, you know sorrow
You have seen this all before
You have heard so many prayers
I ask you now to hear one more

Mother Mary, Mother, take me
Mother Mary, show me how
Leave my pain and separation
Mother, take me with you now
Mother, take me with you now
