A trust betrayed, a rusty blade
Standin' on the air, i walked the line
Paid my fine, hope i know the land
The actual facts, unatural acts
Sins that take their toll
The angel and the ginn and the beast within
They fight to take control
(chorus)
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul
Lord needs you like a junkie needs his drug
He needs you like a baby boy needs his hug
Needs you like the power, lord, needs the sun
I need you like dmc needs run
Lord, have mercy on my soul, lord, have mercy on my soul
Lord loves you like the eskimo loves the cold
I love you like the miner man loves his gold
Love you like the fishermen loves the sea
I love you like the flowers love the work of bees
(chorus)
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul
Lord, have mercy on my soul
Standin' up tall, on top of the wall
Hopin' that i can fly, angel and the jinn and the beast within
Say i'm gonna die
(chorus)
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul, on my soul, on my soul
