Verse 1
All your life’s been wandering
This town seems good for nothing
And the things you thought you knew
Before have been all but forgotten
So, take a look right at your life
See it in a different light
You will be amazed at how things look
If you will only try
Chorus 1
It’s relatively minor, Mary
Relatively minor, Mary
It’s relatively minor, Mary
Live your life
Live it proud and live it right out loud
Yeah-ee-yeah, ooh, ooh, hoo, yeah
Verse 2
Change your state of being
Change your state, your state of mind
You may very well be so surprised
At the things you’ll find
Yeah, all the mole hills that you’ve turned
To mountains in the years gone by
Well, all seem like stepping stones to you,
‘Cause everything is better in hindsight
Chorus 2
Relatively minor, Mary
Relatively minor, Mary
It’s relatively minor, Mary
Live your life
Live it proud and live it right out loud
Right out loud
Bridge
So, you say you don’t want me to be the one
To break the news
So, you say you don’t want me to be the one
To tell the truth
Well, that’s OK, ‘cause you know I’m right
And there’s a better world waitin’ on the….
Other side
Yeah-ee-yeah, ooh, ooh, hoo, yeah
Verse 3
So, if you want to make the grade
Stop raining on your own parade
And if you find yourself afraid
Sing a self-made serenade
Lay your head back, close your eyes
Dream of bluer skies
Kiss the older world goodbye
And you’ll be happy, healthy, younger and wise
Chorus 3
It’s relatively minor, Mary
Relatively minor… Mary
It’s relatively minor, Mary
Live your life
Live it proud and live it right out loud
Right out loud, right out loud
