Little Mary left her school that day
And never ever made it through that door
Her friends said someone picked her up
A man, none of them has seen before
But why did she go
With someone she doesn't know?
And how could she forget
The warnings mommy spread?
Mary left an empty space inside
Broken hearts lay in the sand
Wish I could turn back time again
Finally we had to realize
That the shadows of our fears
Are reflections of those borrowed years
Well Mary never made it home
And the years went slowly by without a trace
Not a sign, not a word, not a hint
And then one day you wake up and lost your hope and faith
The world keeps turning round
While friends turn away
You're paying to a god
Who won't take prayers today
Mary left an empty space inside
Broken hearts lay in the sand
Wish I could turn back time again
Finally we had to realize
That the shadows of our fears
Are reflections of those borrowed years
The worst was not to know
If she's alive or if she's dead
This painful search for answers
To all the questions in our head
We're not able to let go
Mary left an empty space inside
Broken hearts lay in the sand
Wish I could turn back time again
Finally we had to realize
That the shadows of our fears
Are reflections of those borrowed years
