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
