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