The Schwa - Maria Lyrics

Maria, Maria, I don't understand
Strangeness of fortune has changed all our plans
We're running for cover while looking for love
Nothing else matters as push comes to shove
I can't stand to see you cry, I can't stand to live this lie
We can't stay yet we can't run away
Our mothers and fathers have dealt us this hand
Chasing their dreams of a new promised land
Coming from nothing not accepting the same
Living through hardships to lessen our pain
The righteous ones without a soul, feeding off others that have no control
They don't care what misery they sow
Chased by demons, no angels in sight (angels in sight)
Still we continue (into the night)
I do believe we will be free
Just stand with me tonight
Maria, Maria, not much to say
No place to hide and no place to stay
We'll run for the border our dreams in our hands
Hoping to find the new promised land
I can't stand to see you cry, I can't stand to live this lie
We can't stay yet we can't run away
No we can't run away
