(puerta) Have mercy on a fool like me My eyes were open but i just couldn't see The way the world works without honesty Honestly, i was blind When all my heroes have been laid to rest And all my idols i have come to possess And i'm still looking for some true happiness in my heart Nothing here is certain We chase a shadow of our own dream's design And wonder why it takes so long And wonder just where we went wrong We hold a candle in the wind to light our way Go lightly in your judgement please I didn't know the world was filled with such greed
I'm only asking let your heart intercede And i know they still exist They say you learn something new every day I want to learn to forget all this dismay At finding out the way that some folks play Only they's gonna win ... Nothing here is sacred The golden calf we worshipped has fallen from its shrine and left us standing here stranded Our only hope's to abandon These foolish dreams that we've pursued for far too long Have mercy, have mercy ...
