Mary's Christmas Song

Mary was my lover before she was the mother
Of God's begotten son
We held hands down in the market
And she told me I was the one

I knew she was a fighter before God took that lighter
Up against the sky
And led all of the wisemen
To Mary and her guy

I'm not saying that she's mine
And I'm not saying that she was
But I won't make it to the manger
No one like me does

I must admit that when I'd finally seen the baby I cried
'Cause Jesus had his mother's earthly eyes
And I couldn't help but feel like
I'd been living upon lies

Would Mary recognize my face even so out of place
And mixed in with the crowd of those who waited
When I looked at that baby in his tiny crib
I saw the promise that was slated

I'm not saying that she's mine
And I'm not saying that she would
But I could make it to salvation
If I was a hundredth as good as Mary

As Mary
