a thousand dreams within

within me softly burn

they burn the savage soul

that twisted what it learned

i feel this life slipping by

i can feel this life slipping by



desire is a state

a state of ill repair

it's ill prepared to cope

it's ill prepared to care

i feel this life slipping by

i can feel this life slipping by



time and time life's left me only

feeling sick and feeling scared

now my love is strong

my love is strong

i'll go on and on and on and on

and on



mercy is the cry of the soul that stirred



beneath the creeping vine

a flower tries to change

it tries to satisfy

it's thirst without the rains

i feel this change coming on

i can feel this change coming on



time and time life's left me only

feeling sick and feeling scared

now love is strong my love is strong

i'll go on and on and on and on

and on



mercy is the cry of the soul that stirred

mercy is the cry and it's never heard



love is all we have

love is all we need
