1
Late last night I awoke in a dream
2
To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream
3
From out of the city and out of the street
4
Out where the wind hits the cold concrete
5
It's cold outside
6
Darkness your enemy
7
No place to hide
8
The voice said this to me
9
In your doorways I have shivered
10
In your alleys I have gone to ground
11
But I will be delivered
12
Someday I will be mercy bound
13
I dreamed again it was West LA
14
On a crowded street on a hot summer day
15
She was alone
16
Three months late and beginning to show
17
In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow
18
She had no one to call and no way home
19
And in my mind I knew I'd seen myself
20
But in our blindness it always seems like someone else
21
There I was a rag a bone
22
A remnant in your lost and found
23
I was for once truly alone
24
Longing to be mercy bound
25
And I knew that I would wander
26
As a child in the forest till they found me
27
And I called out to them but could not penetrate
28
The silence all around me
29
And when I wake I know you'll comfort me
30
And I won't sleep again for an eternity
31
But others lie awake at night
32
In desperation more profound
33
And the coming of the morning light
34
Will not see them mercy bound
35
And some will never dream again
36
From sleeping on the ground
37
Longing to belong
38
And dying to be mercy bound
39
Oh please don't stop your dreaming
40
Someday we'll all be mercy bound
