lyrics

"Mary Immaculate" Jenny Taylor 2019

Verse 1
I got that blue bag, on my first day at school
As I came into the convent, a huge photo stood
Of laughing children, gathered round a man, robed in velvet and silk,
with a bright big gold thing on his head, girls so young they hadn’t yet bled

Now I’m carrying my Academy of Mary Immaculate bag
At the check-in counter, I’m attaching the tag
Silver in the sky, crowding at the gate.
An air hostess sighs, we’re all running late

But I’m gonna fly, I’m gonna fly
And almost everything that has ever touched my skin, will fall away

Verse 2

On the street this morning, I gave a beggar some money
Some Christian kindness, or an insurance policy
That the air that blew that gossamer web, All that stood me up, would not crumble
and the sorrows at my door, wouldn’t claim me to the poor

Cardinal Pell was charged with sex crimes today
It was on the news in Melbourne as I flew away.
Maybe he did it, maybe he didn't, but 100’s did and thousands hid it
For all the girls and boys and all the faithful lambs
May almost anything that has ever touched your skin
may they fall away ----- may they fall away, may they fall away


Love light the hearts of the children Bless the parents who couldn't protect them
From patriarchy, doctrine and madness  and the selfish selfish thief
And anyone who's taken, who's broken or betrayed
in the name of any God, may they fall away,
may they fall away, may the
