what is the song mary's prayer about
Mary's Prayer The song has been described as "an extended Catholic metaphor", [3] although Clark has denied any intended religious significance in his composition: "There is a lot of religious imagery in the song but that is really just a device to relate past present and future"..."It is basically just a simple love song. In fact I like to think of it as being like a country and western song". [2]
Hail Mary Based on the greeting of the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary in the Gospel of Luke, the prayer takes different forms in various traditions. It has often been set to music.
My Ántonia
If I Had My Life to Live Over The song is now a recognized standard, recorded by many artists.
