lyrics

Mary you grew up too fast - thinking things before the others had a chance to grasp.
Mary you were ahead of your time - argueing politics when you were only nine
Mary you were just five years old - when you told your mother jesus hadn't saved your soul

and now you're getting older
and you're wondering what to do
because it seems that things aren't good anymore
you went way to fast
and now the contrast of your youth leaves you marred for emotional endeavors

Mary you've got to change your life, learn to appreciate things that don't hold the light
Mary you've got to see it through, learn there are other things than what you're learning in school
Mary you'll break a thousand hearts, never getting to know someone for who they truly are

maybe one day soon you'll see that blue skies, can just be blue on a plain day.
take a second, look around you notice the foliage in bloom walk it's way.
i know the world has flaws just like we do
but Mary there's good in them like there is in you, even if it's hidden.
try spending the day digging it up, instead of judging it.

about

Jemibook Oakland, California

Jemibook came to be one day late in 2006 when Jem realized that it's easier to pick up a toy ukulele at a wal-mart and make your own band then wait around for people's schedules to work out together.
