Mercy!

It's tears again

Life slips like the tears do off the cheeks
When change slaps soft to wake me up
What can you control is what she asks
How long shall you dream is what she challenges

It's pain what I feel here in me
It's real, the tears which I shed here
It seems it's over, it feels nothing but sad
I want to face it, but I am too weak to be free

O Life! Have mercy on this tired soul
Show me in real the faces of this world
Not in steps, I beg, but at once and for all
Allow me to talk to you and move myself
