THE EYES OF THE CHILDREN OF MARIA

You and I we got our problems but you and I we got hope.
And we assume we will be solving them, we got love - we can cope.
But the lights in the distance - and the fire burning on the shore...

See the eyes of the children of Maria. Look at the eyes of the children of

Lord.

But when the angels come to Saint Marks place
They're just looking for something hip to wear.

For the eyes of the children of Maria. Look at the eyes of the children of
Maria. See the eyes of the children of Maria. Waiting for the coming of a
Lord.

But the pictures of the babies they are frozen forever in my mind. Like

Eyes of the children of Maria. Look at the eyes of the children of Maria.
See the eyes of the Children of Maria. Waiting for the coming of a Lord.
