Sometimes when I open my eyes
I see the things that I can't hide
Emptiness hanging from the shadows on the wall
Sometimes when I open my ears
Hear all the things I don't want to hear
4AM, faith is lost, she's screaming out again

And I say Mary, Mary
Mother full of light
When you gonna come down
And save us
Save us from this night
Oh I say Mary, Mary
When you gonna hear
When you gonna come down
And take away
This bucket full
This bucket full of tears?

I tried to compromise
Saw the world through others' eyes
In the end, the battle came and left me on the ground
So many ways to fall
We seem to find them all
Tripping through the rubble as we fight within ourselves

And I say Mary, Mary
Mother full of light
When you gonna come down
And save us
Save us from this night
Oh I say Mary, Mary
When you gonna hear
When you gonna come down
And take away
This bucket full
This bucket full of tears?

Impossible, impossible
Are the things that we make implausible, implausible
Implausible, are the things that become impossible
We risk it all
We pay the toll
To a place that we've never been before
I won't be going back now
Mary, Mary
When you gonna fly
When you gonna come down
And say the words to hush this endless cry
Oh, I say Mary, Mary
When you gonna hear
When you gonna come down
And take away
This bucket full
This bucket full of tears?

Whoa, Whoa, Mary
This bucket full
This bucket full
This bucket full
Ooo
This bucket full
This bucket full
This bucket full
Ooo
Bucket full
Bucket full of tears
