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
