Mary

Story Behind The Song

This song was originally written in response to the Colombine shootings, but soon it became very obvious that it was a song that had meaning during the 9/11 tragedy as well. This is a song that asks questions "there were only questions in my house, why'd they have to kill"... "Someone's gonna get back to you Mary. Someone's gonna get back to you soon..."

Lyrics

I tried to make sense of a
senseless act of will
There were only questions in my house
Why they had to kill

Someone tell me why this happened
Someone tell me why we?re all crying
Someone tell me this will never happen
Someone tell me this will never happen again, again

Someone?s gonna get back to you Mary
Someone?s gonna get back to you soon
I?m sorry if you are feeling badly
Sitting in your room, crying in your room

Look into my eyes again
Tell me it?s alright
Look into the TV set
Will Mary get a call tonight?

Someone tell me why this happened
Someone tell me why we?re all crying
Someone tell me this will never happen
Someone tell me this will never happen again, again

Someone?s gonna get back to you Mary
Someone?s gonna get back to you soon
I?m sorry if you are feeling badly
Sitting in your room? crying in your room
