I sit back and I close my eyes
lookin back at all the lows and all the highs
Through the black and white and in between
all the miles ive walked
the wars ive fought
and all ive seen
It all seems like yesterday
like a bird, time just flies
no sooner than you said hello
its time, its time, its time to say goodbye
Consumed by worry, stress and fear,
never leanring to live
weighed down by wondering why we're here
collected memories
all thats in the end
i guess a sense of peace wasnt meant for some, my friend
it all seems like yesterday
like a bird, time just flies
no sooner than you said hello
its time, its time, its time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
it all seems like yesterday
like a bird, time just flies
no sooner than you said hello
its time, its time, its time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbyeWhy does everybody hurt
Every bitter sickening word breaks my heart
Why can't anybody hear
When the thunder disappears and the sun breaks free
It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Mercy me
Every color, every shade
Everyone an angel made from the breath of God
I'm your mother, I'm your son
I am not the other one that you love to hate
It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Pretty please
When the fires all burn down
When they open up the ground and put you in
I'll lay flowers on your grave
It's a little too late for sorry now
It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Mercy me
