about

I went back and finished this one, because I couldn't stop singing it. I still love it, and I'm so happy it came out of a time of such tumult.

lyrics

Lift me up
Hail Mary
Word on the street is that you're full of Grace
So lift me up
Hail Mary
I'm past embarrassment, I ain't trying to save face
I'm behind the half court line
I'm deep into overtime
and the other team is putting up a fight
so lift me up, ave maria,
I ain't never been to church, but I sure as hell need you tonight.

Lift me up
hail, Mary,
word on the street is you're the one I'm supposed to call
lift me up
hail, Mary
someone wrote your number by the payphone on the prison wall
so pick up that receiver
go and make me a believer
I'm between a rock and a hard place, and it sure is tight
lift me up, ave Maria,
I'm no christian man, but I sure as hell need you tonight.

tonight is what they call the end of the road,
the dark, dark night of the soul
tonight I'm carrying a heavy heavy load
and I'm way down in the hole
tonight I'm dangling at the end of my rope
I'm done looking for someone else to blame
tonight I'm clinging to my last scrap of hope
and so I'm calling, and so I'm calling your name.

Lift me up
Hail Mary
Word on the street is that you're full of Grace
So lift me up
Hail Mary
I'm past embarrassment, I ain't trying to save face
am I worthy of saving,
with they way I've been behaving?
I don't know which way is up, what's wrong and what's right,
but lift me up,
Ave Maria,
I ain't never been to church, but I sure as hell need you tonight.
