My heart's getting bigger so I need a new pant size
When you're the tower of strength people climb up your backside
So you don't stay that way too long
You're only temporarily strong


I've got mercy, mercy to go
I've got mercy, mercy to go
And then it's all gone


You don't swim up and grab a drowning man
'Cause he'll use you as a life raft if he can
It's better to hold a out a branch
Then the tree, and then the whole ranch


'Cause I've got mercy, mercy to go
I've got mercy, mercy to go
I've got mercy, mercy to go
And then it's all gone


As I mature I learn to speak my mind
On the other hand I learn to be patie
