Life as Maria is a child-dream
Desert flower, desert sand
Dwells on nothing like a moving stream
Never dour, ever tan

Mary, tell us how the cactus grows?
Tall and tall; as people do
Mary, when will you come home?
When setting sun tells me to

Laughs and laughs and runs the roads
Leading to the fox abodes
Free and free as child can be
Eternity, eternity

Life as Maria is a part of me
Singing loud, singing sweet
Life as Maria seems far from me
Furrowed brow, uphill feat...

...Life as Maria as Life as Maria
Loving life, living love
Life as Maria as Life as Maria
Mary, me, and blue sky above
