Well I have lived ten years plus ten

And ten and ten again

I have seen too much to pretend

And then you wanted to come in

I have survived all of the lies

They made me wise

The locks and walls and the peace it buys

Still when I look into your eyes

It's a surprise when you say



It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be okay

Just hold on tight

let it all go away



What do you want from me

Mercy, mercy baby

What do you want from me



well I plead Mercy, mercy baby

I do not know what this all means

It's been awhile

Since I've been stylin' in

Just my jacket and my jeans



It hurts to walk

It hurts to talk

It hurts to think about it

Shout about it

Could I be sure without a doubt

That you could never live without



It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be okay

Just hold on tight

let it all go away

Mercy baby

What do you want from me

Mercy, mercy, mercy baby

What do you want from me



It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be okay

Just hold on tight

let it all go away

I want to fall in you

Crawl in you

Surrender

All in you now



Could I be sure in you

Pure in you

Finding the cure in you

Now I plead

Have mercy on me



Now I am kneeling at the altar

In the temple of your eyes

And I am asking for a miracle

I have been too long paralyzed when you say



Get up

Stand up

Climb the rope of hope

and open up again



All the peace you say is promised me

seems too much to comprehend



It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be okay

Just hold on tight -ac
