My heart's getting bigger so I need a new pant size

When you're the tower of strength people climb up your backside

So you don't stay that way too long

You're only temporarily strong





I've got mercy, mercy to go

I've got mercy, mercy to go

And then it's all gone





You don't swim up and grab a drowning man

'Cause he'll use you as a life raft if he can

It's better to hold a out a branch

Then the tree, and then the whole ranch





'Cause I've got mercy, mercy to go

I've got mercy, mercy to go

I've got mercy, mercy to go

And then it's all gone





As I mature I learn to speak my mind

On the other hand I learn to be patient
