(CHORUS) What Mary didn’t know What Mary didn’t know Didn’t know, she did not know She was a little girl In a black and white world She didn’t know, didn’t know
Mary took a look inside of my head Saw me looking at the color red Saw how my eyes worked, how they linked to my brain Yeah she could see it but was it the same?
Mary’d never seen color herself Just read descriptions in her books on the shelf Thought she knew all about the ways that we see But was it the same for me?
(CHORUS)
Mary sweet thing didn’t realize The world around her yeah, with her own eyes Was there more to sight than words could tell? She could explain it very well
(CHORUS)
One day Mary left her room behind Opened her eyes and opened her mind And she was shocked by the things that she saw The world of color well it left her in awe Mary, Mary with your jaw on the floor Mary, Mary thought you knew it all, knew it all
