[Verse 1]
Yeah!
Oh, sweet Mary, child of confusion, she runs the hills to cry
Past the willows or an illusion, Lord, tell me the reason why
[Chorus]
Tell me why, why is it all so hard?
Breathing in the air, breathe in the air
Anyone to care, oh!
[Verse 2]
(Alright, yeah!)
Oh, sweet Mary, in our story, have we nothing left to give?
But don't we all know, babe, if we're pressed to, that that's the way we live
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now [x2]
