Fool Like Me

Have mercy on a fool like me

My eyes were open but I just couldn't see

The way the world works without honesty

Honestly, I was blind

When all my heroes have been laid to rest

And all my idols I have come to possess

And I'm still looking for some true happiness in my heart

Nothing here is certain

We chase a shadow of our own dream's design

And wonder why it takes so long

And wonder just where we went wrong

We hold a candle in the wind to light our way

Go lightly in your judgement please

I didn't know the world was filled with such greed

I'm only asking let your heart intercede

And I know they still exist

They say you learn something new every day

I want to learn to forget all this dismay

At finding out the way that some folks play

Only they's gonna win ...

Nothing here is sacred

The golden calf we worshipped has fallen from its shrine And left us standing here stranded

Our only hope's to abandon

These foolish dreams that we've pursued for far too long

Have mercy, have mercy ...
