Well I have lived ten years plus tenAnd ten and ten againI have seen too much to pretendAnd then you wanted to come inI have survived all of the liesThey made me wiseThe locks and walls and the peace it buysStill when I look into your eyesIt's a surprise when you sayIt's gonna be alrightIt's gonna be okayJust hold on tightlet it all go awayWhat do you want from meMercy, mercy babyWhat do you want from mewell I plead Mercy, mercy babyI do not know what this all meansIt's been awhileSince I've been stylin' inJust my jacket and my jeansIt hurts to walkIt hurts to talkIt hurts to think about itShout about itCould I be sure without a doubtThat you could never live withoutIt's gonna be alrightIt's gonna be okayJust hold on tightlet it all go awayMercy babyWhat do you want from meMercy, mercy, mercy babyWhat do you want from meIt's gonna be alrightIt's gonna be okayJust hold on tightlet it all go awayI want to fall in youCrawl in youSurrenderAll in you nowCould I be sure in youPure in youFinding the cure in youNow I pleadHave mercy on meNow I am kneeling at the altarIn the temple of your eyesAnd I am asking for a miracleI have been too long paralyzed when you sayGet upStand upClimb the rope of hopeand open up againAll the peace you say is promised meseems too much to comprehendIt's gonna be alrightIt's gonna be okayJust hold on tightlet it all go awayMercy babyWhat do you want from meMercy, mercy babywhat Can this girl believeIt's gonna be alrightIt's gonna be okayHoney just hold on tightAnd I'll make it all go awayHold onIt's gonna be alrightMercy darlingMercyLet it all go away
