Melissa Etheridge - Mercy lyrics

Well I have lived ten years plus ten And ten and ten again I have seen too much to pretend 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 all right It's gonna be okay Just hold on tight Let it all go away Oh 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 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 me 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 alter In the temple of your eyes And I am asking for a miracle I have been too long paralyzed When you say get up and stand up And climb the rope of hope And open up again Oh the peace you say is promised me Seems too much to comprehend
