i want to live - as bright as the sun

i want to live a revolution
but i can sense that fading
the world goes on to others things
and i am left here waiting

there is something else beneath our lives
a lie that fits - a tie that binds you
forgive me now, my lack of clarity
i've only lately started killing me

breathe over me
freedom come and run us through like light

have we come a million miles
in a hundred years
still it's not enough
still we hold to fear

blind, we rape the queen
deaf, we hide the child
numb, we never see what we have defiled

breathe over me
freedom come and run us through like light

will we see it?
will we see the m e r c y day?
as bright as the sun
can we hold it?
will it fade or wither away?
as bright as the sun

owensring - "over"

i want to live a revolution
i want to see the mercy day
