Lyrics:

[Intro]
Faith is falling, hate is rising
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?

[Verse 1]
A chill on my skin
As I watch the world cave in
Can't see the light
With our backs against the sun can you believe what we've become?

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could wipe away her tears
I wish I could wipe away her tears

[Chorus]
Faith is falling, hate is rising
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?
Homes are broken, children dying
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?

[Verse 2]
Should I be surprised
When the truth is laced with lies?
So lost, so numb
Seems like no one really listens, seems like no one really cares

[Chorus]
Faith is falling, hate is rising
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?
Homes are broken, children dying
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?

[Bridge]
I wish I could wipe away her tears
I wish I could wipe away her tears
Oh, oh, Mary's Crying
Oh, oh, Mary's Crying

[Chorus]
Faith is falling, hate is rising
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?
Homes are broken, children dying
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?

[Refrain]
Oh, oh, Mary's Crying

[Chorus]
Faith is falling, hate is rising
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?
Homes are broken, children dying
Can't you hear Mother Mary crying?

[Outro]
I wish I could wipe away her tears
