lyrics

Mother Mary of Guadalupe

She’s a vision on the water, a light from heaven’s sky
Roses fall around her, they’re the tears from the virgin’s eyes
Angels fly from her shoulders, stars shoot from her head
She got lightning in her fingers to spark the soul you left for dead

Out of the fire a band of angels carry me to you
Singing save me won’t you save me Mother Mary of Guadalupe
Out of the fire a band of angels carries me to you
Singing heal me won’t you heal me Mother Mary of Guadalupe

Like the dreams of the departed I’ve drifted out much too far
I see the bones of the ones before me break in the bloodhound’s jaw
The wind makes the skeletons rattle in dissonant harmonies
I see a shadow on the river bank, and it’s reaching out for me

Oh, Mary, watch the water rise
With the tears of all those searching for a better life
Oh heal me Mary, my maternal one
Why should I pay the price for all the things they done
