Coffee Shop Song

Mary walks into the coffee shop
Takes her chair by the window
Her usual spot
And she wonders if
All the people who stop and stare
Oh, can see through the glass
To the stains that she wears on the inside

For she's tried to scrub them clean
But they don't go away
Oh, and she's cried herself to sleep

So she lifts the rug
So she sweeps up the dirt
So she runs from love
And she hides the hurt
But the guilt and shame
They still remain
Like a stain upon her shirt

Mary sits and listens as music plays
And the words strike a chord
Down inside of her with what they say
For the singer paints
Oh, a picture of a freer life
Oh, of shoulders much lighter
From laying their burden aside

For he's found a way to get clean
To wash it all away
And he sings of how it used to be

How he raised the rug
How he swept up the dirt
How he ran from love
And he hid the hurt
But the guilt and shame
Always remained
Like a stain upon his shirt

But there is someone who
Loves you unconditionally
Just confess with your mouth
And you will be free
Just believe in your heart

Oh, he'll raise the rug
He will clean up the dirt
He will give you love
And he'll heal your hurt
For your guilt and shame
He'll take the blame
Give you a brand new shirt

Mary walks into the coffee shop
Takes her chair by the window
Her usual
