Lyrics Hail Mary - Lori McKenna

Hail Mary

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
