Verse 1
night I awoke in a dream

To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream,

Out where the wind hits the cold concrete,
F#m
Bsus4
A
oh oh oh

It's cold outside, darkness,

your enemy

No place to hide,

the voice said this to me

In your alleys I have gone to ground

bound
Bm
A
On a crowded street on a hot summer day,
F#m
Bsus4
E
she was alone
Three months late and beginning
to show
she would soon outgrow
A
F#m
She had no one to call
Bsus4
B
A
and no way home
E
A
E
A

And in my mind I knew
A
Bsus4
A
I'd seen myself
E
A
E
But in our blindness,
A
E
F#m
always seems like someone else
B
E
Longing to be mercy bound
would wander as a child
I could not penetrate
E

B
A
The silence all around me
E
A
E
And when I wake I know
B
Bsus4
A
you'll comfort me
E

And I won't sleep again for
E

F#m
an etern ity
In desperation more pro
Bsus4

found
Bsus4
E
Will not see them mercy bound
A

And some will never dream
again
F#m
Bsus4
From sleeping on the ground
B
F#m
Just longing to belong
B
E
B
A
Dying to be mercy bound
B
E
Someday we'll all be mercy
F#m
bound
Bsus4
B
Bsus4
Someday mercy bound
