Late last night I awoke in a dream To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream From out of the city and out of the street Out where the wind hits the cold concrete It's cold outside Darkness your enemy No place to hide The voice said this to me In your doorways I have shivered In your alleys I have gone to ground But I will be delivered Someday I will be mercy bound I dreamed again it was West LA On a crowded street on a hot summer day She was alone Three months late and beginning to show In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow She had no one to call and no way home And in my mind I knew I'd seen myself But in our blindness it always seems like someone else There I was a rag a bone A remnant in your lost and found I was for once truly alone Longing to be mercy bound And I knew that I would wander As a child in the forest till they found me And I called out to them but could not penetrate The silence all around me And when I wake I know you'll comfort me And I won't sleep again for an eternity But others lie awake at night In desperation more profound And the coming of the morning light Will not see them mercy bound And some will never dream again From sleeping on the ground Longing to belong And dying to be mercy bound Oh please don't stop your dreaming Someday we'll all be mercy bound
