1
Late last night I awoke in a dream
2
To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream
3
Oh oh oh
4
From out of the city and out of the street
5
Out where the wind hits the cold concrete
6
Oh oh oh
7
It's cold outside
8
Darkness your enemy
9
No place to hide
10
The voice said this to me
11
In your doorways I have shivered
12
In your alleys I have gone to ground
13
But I will be delivered
14
Someday I will be mercy bound
15
I dreamed again it was west L.A.
16
On a crowded street on a hot summer day
17
She was alone
18
Three months late and beginning to show
19
In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow
20
She had no one to call
21
And no way home
22
And in my mind
23
I knew I'd seen myself
24
But in our blindness
25
It always seems like someone else
26
There I was a rag a bone
27
A remnant in your lost and found
28
I was for once truly alone
29
Longing to be mercy bound
30
And I knew that I would wander as child in the forest
31
Till they found me
32
And I called out to them but I could not penetrate the silence
33
All around me
34
And when I wake I know you'll comfort me
35
And I won't sleep again for an eternity
36
But others lie awake at night
37
In desperation more profound
38
And the coming of the morning light
39
Will not see them mercy bound
40
And some will never dream again
41
From sleeping on the ground
42
Just longing to belong
43
And dying to be mercy bound
44
Oh please don't stop your dreaming
45
Someday we'll all be mercy bound
