Mara

[Verse 1] I came to be here in the garden I came to walk alone To hear the quiet conversation between my footsteps and the stone I came to find some self acceptance I came searching for my truth But something's telling me to go where it's far too dark to look [Chorus] Oh, I can see you Mara I see you standing there You're with me in the dark I hear your questions in the air {Oh, Mara, why do you stand there? [Verse 2] You have come here in the silence In the breath between the rain The storm distorts the garden's beauty and leaves me wondering again Distracting you is not the answer If the question you relay, is not how to design something But why build it anyway? [Chorus] Oh, I can see you Mara I see you standing there You're with me in the dark Your questions working through the air Oh, Mara, why do you stand there? [Instrumental Break] [Post-Chorus] Oh, Mara, why do you stand there? [Verse 3] Have you come here weak and hungry To feed upon the scraps? Do you sit patient in the bushes waiting to attack? But I won't stomp my feet in anger, no Or beat upon my chest Instead, I ask that you allow me to talk with you instead [Chorus] Oh, I can see you Mara I see you standing there You're with me in the dark I'll pull your questions from the air Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?
