Hail Mary - Lori McKenna

Hail Mary and your world goes crazy

Your life’s not yours and you’re just fifteen

Hail Mary and you’re hearing angels

They’re calling you crazy, but your God has seen

You, the silent rose in a field of stone

You, under the star of every Christmas show

Was it fear, was it dread

What was running through your head

When you said what you said

Yeah, were you crying

Hail Mary, it’s the mother’s journey

You’ll be broken hearted, but you’ll do it anyway

Miracles don’t always take away the worry

Or the tears on your face for the price you pay

You, the silent rose in a field of stone

You, under the star of every Christmas show

I guess every mother knows

What it’s like letting go

Trying not to let it show

But you’re hoping there’s

Answers to every prayer, answers to every prayer

That’s what I see when you’re kneeling there

You, to have a broken heart when you’re so young

You, to carry what the world could become

Hail Mary and your world goes crazy

And your life’s not yours and you’re just fifteen
