She is a Spanish señorita
Her eyes are green and her heart is gold
You have a vision, you’d like to meet her
And so you’re walking down that
Road to the sea
You hear a lotta things about her
Her reputation’s widely known
The people talk, but that don’t matter
Because to you, she feels like home
You feel free because

She’ll never bring you down
You’re hot, then she’ll bring you water
She wears a flower crown
She is the people’s daughter
She’s holy, holy
Maria’s prayer, the dragonslayer
She’s fighting fire by the sea

She is a Spanish la Lolita
Her eyes are green and her dress is gold
She is a siren, La femme Nikita
Her children young but her soul is old
She feels free

She’ll never bring you down
You’re tired, she’ll bring you water
She’ll never leave this town
She is the father’s daughter
She’s holy, holy
Maria’s prayer, the dragonslayer
She’s fighting fire by the sea
Maria’s prayer, if you should see her
Give her my best wishes for me

Holy, dragonslayer these troubled waters
They don’t mean nothing to you
Patron saint of troubled daughters
Hold your light and you have it true
Because you’re holy, you’re holy
Holy, holy, you’re holy, holy

Maria’s prayer, the dragonslayer
She’s fighting fire by the sea
Maria’s prayer, if you should see her
Give her my best wishes for me
