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

let it all go away
Mercy baby
What do you want from me

Mercy, mercy baby
what Can this girl believe

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay

Honey just hold on tight
And I'll make it all go away
Hold on

It's gonna be alright

Mercy darling
Mercy
Let it all go away
