11. Mary has a problem

A chorus of angels declared
‘Such a shame that she has not yet beared
You’d have thought that a girl of her years
Would be thinking of something other than careers’

Mary has a problem
Mary has a problem
She’s happy successful, she wants to stay free
And yet they whisper ‘Maternity’

And so the visit occurred
Caught out of context she fell in with the word
Over the waters the spirit goes
Now she is known as ‘God only knows’

Life is turned round and sent out again
Now she accepts that she now must wane
Making the way for one other than her
The angel chorus approves from afar

The timing was immaculate
The assumption complete
But they overlooked something
Fate can be so sweet

A chorus of angels complained
‘They let their children run unconstrained
The mothers want children today
Then let them grow up in rebellious ways’

Mary has a problem
Mary has a problem
She’s happy successful, she wants to stay free
And yet they whisper ‘Eternity’
