Mother Mary
Finding Redemption: A Soul's Journey Through Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
Now I know you've got a lot to do
Acknowledging the listener's busy life.
people always tryin' to bother you
People frequently disturb or distract.
And its got to be a busy time
Recognizing the demanding nature of life.
From Korea down to columbine
Referencing global events, possibly to emphasize challenges.
People lickin' up and kickin' down
Describing a world with criticism and scarcity of love.
Aint' a lot of love to go around
Highlighting a lack of love in society.
It's never what you are it's what you've got
Emphasizing materialism over intrinsic value.
And everybody wants to be on top
Expressing the desire for success and recognition.
But You've given us this life to lead
Acknowledging life as a gift with inherent goodness.
And there's got to be some good in we
Believing in the inherent goodness of people.
Evil times, we've got to stick it out
Enduring difficult times with resilience.
It's gonna take a lot to turn around
Recognizing the effort required for positive change.
I guess you take the good and multiply
Suggesting amplifying the positive aspects of life.
Add a little love and loose the pride
Advocating for love and humility over pride.
All together now, we're on our own
Emphasizing collective responsibility.
People let me know what side you're on
Calling for people to declare their allegiances.
So mother Mary
Invoking Mother Mary, possibly as a symbol of guidance.
Watch over me
Pleading for protection and guidance from Mother Mary.
My soul is empty
Expressing a sense of emptiness in the soul.
I don't believe
Expressing doubt or disbelief.
Won't you take me away to a place that I'll
Seeking a place of happiness and fulfillment.
Be happy and high 'til the day i die
Desiring a carefree and joyful life.
People I don't know what you've been told
Expressing uncertainty about information received.
But I wanna sex drug and rock ' n roll
Expressing a desire for a hedonistic lifestyle.
I wanna meet a lot of pretty girls
Expressing a desire for romantic encounters.
I wanna be the one who saves the world
Expressing a desire for significance and impact.
But while I'm tryin' to get my life to be
Struggling to align life with the glamorous portrayal in media.
Like a video on mtv
Experiencing a lack of faith and time.
I keep running out of faith and time
Noticing an increase in negative influences.
And evil things are getting amplified
Reflecting on the worsening state of the world.
And aint' nobody advertising pain
Highlighting the absence of advertisements for pain.
People always getting paid to change
Observing a commercialization of change.
Whatever happened to the "be yourself"?
Questioning the disappearance of authenticity.
I've got a lot of angry tears to sell
Expressing emotional distress and frustration.
I guess you take the good and multiply
Reiterating the formula of emphasizing the good.
Add a little love and loose the pride
Advocating for love and humility over pride (repeated).
All together now, we're on our own
Emphasizing collective responsibility (repeated).
People let me know what side you're on
Repeating the call for people to declare their allegiances.
