Mother Mary, please stop and carry me
I've got nothing left to eat and I've worn out both shoes
They say you lend a hand to candle burners at both ends
Well, I've got nothing left to give so I'm giving in
Your only son said being poor is the only way to win
I guess I'm ready to start losing again
Mother Mary, when you find me I'll be gone
Set my course for the beyond past these headlights
A lifetime out of touch with my divine creator's love
I tried to live in peace, but life lived me
Your only son said "turn the other cheek-you'll surely win"
I guess I'm ready to start losing again
Meek, humble, righteous, and free
Blessed are the merciful for they'll be shown mercy
These Beatitudes in my last seconds on the earth
Meant to guide me through when all I want is you
Mother Mary, I'm cold and I am tired
Take me in beside your fire I will not be long
They say you lend a hand to candle burners at both ends
Well, it may come as no surprise: I'm out of wax
Your only son said suffering's the price you pay to win
I guess I'm ready to start losing again
The path to heaven lies in wait for those who best their sin
I guess I'm ready to start losing again
