[Intro] A shadow falls across the land\n A memory etched within the sand\n Of gentle eyes and wrinkled grace\n A stolen life, a vacant space

[Verse]1 Born in the wild, a vibrant hue\n Taken too young, a world untrue\n Chains and concrete, a mournful plight\n Lost in the darkness, devoid of light

[Chorus] Mary, Mary, can you feel the pain?\n The echoes of freedom, a distant refrain\n A captive heart, a spirit subdued\n A silent sorrow, misunderstood

[Verse]2 Parades and shows, a weary show\n A painted smile, concealing woe\n The laughter fades, the crowds depart\n Leaving behind a broken heart

[Chorus] Mary, Mary, can you feel the pain?\n The echoes of freedom, a distant refrain\n A captive heart, a spirit subdued\n A silent sorrow, misunderstood

[Bridge] They say she’s safe, they say she’s fed\n But what of the dreams inside her head?\n Of swaying branches, a jungle's call\n A longing for home, encompassing all

[Chorus] Mary, Mary, can you feel the pain?\n The echoes of freedom, a distant refrain\n A captive heart, a spirit subdued\n A silent sorrow, misunderstood

[Outro] The years drift by, a fading trace\n Of Mary's beauty, her gentle face\n A whispered promise, carried on the breeze\n May her spirit find eternal ease
