Mercy

Am I lost Gone away Am I gratefully digging my grave Do my feet Fear to run From the heart of that prison of one Can I change these clothes I've worn Shed this old skin and be reborn Give me time And a peaceful mind Give me mercy Well I've stood in the snow And I've watched that wildfire grow Seen the flames catch the wind And I've felt their heat on my skin But now I feel so small With my back up against the wall Give me time And a peaceful mind Give me mercy I wish I was an eagle Floating on the air And I didn't have this heavy Cross to bear I've got scars that still ache From every misstep from every mistakes For every lie I believed There's a ghost in my head that won't leave So don't make me confess With your own cards tight to your chest Give me time And a peaceful mind Give me mercy I wish I was an eagle Floating on the air And I didn't have this heavy Cross to bear Well I've stood in the snow And I've watched that wildfire grow Seen the flames catch the wind And I've felt their heat on my skin But now I feel so small With my back up against the wall Give me time And a peaceful mind Give me mercy
