Ave Maria
Where have you been hiding?
Don't you know we need you!
Things are looking pretty bad down here.
I know that there is beauty
Gentleness, and laughter
These are things you always stood for
Help us find them too.
Hey, there, Maria!
Santa Maria...Maria.
May I take a liberty
And say that it's a shame to me
Not to live in harmony
Were all just hoping
Someone will step forward singing...
Amen, Amen
Ave Maria
Where have you been hiding?
Don't you know we need you!
Things are looking pretty bad down here.
I know you hear the fighting
See the torch we're lighting
On our quest for peace and freedom
Help us see this through
Hey, there, Maria!
Santa Maria...Maria.
May I take a liberty
And say that it's a shame to me
Not to live in harmony
We're all just hoping
Someone will step forward singing...
Amen

A very heart-felt rendition sweet Noa! I do also believe that we all should trace and acknowledge the same essence that have inspired the human "religions" and "churches", being its very root and common ground : The Heart and Its Unfed Fiery Flaming Wisdom clear and awaken in sages, prophets, Magi and Illumined Masters now Ascended among them Maria. In that respect and in the openmidedness of my heart, my personal prayer would be : Where I as a woman, have been hiding?
