Lyrics
DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY WITH THE BREEZE
YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT BACK
WE DON'T ALWAYS GET EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED
THEY SAY, PEOPLE, YOU GOTTA BELIEVE
IN SOMETHING, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
BUT SOMETHING THAT CAN SET YOUR WORRIES FREE
I WAS RUNNING - FAST OUTTA MY MIND
ALWAYS RUNNING - LIKE A MAN OUT OF TIME
NEVER KNOWING - IF I'LL SEE THE NEXT SUNRISE
I HEAR THEM SAY, PEOPLE YOU GOTTA HOLD ON TO SOMETHING,
NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT BUT SOMETHING
JUST LEAVE THOSE TROUBLES BEHIND
*ALL THAT WE NEED - IS A LITTLE BIT OF MERCY
WE COULD STAND TO USE - A LITTLE BIT OF UNDERSTANDING
LOVE IS JUST LIKE A ROSE,
ONLY LOVE - CAN MAKE IT GROW
AND YOU KNOW -LOVE IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE
I SAY, PEOPLE - ALL JOIN HANDS WITH YOUR BROTHER
DO UNTO AS WE TO EACH OTHER
WHAT WE DO SOWS OUR DESTINY
*ALL THAT WE NEED - IS A LITTLE BIT OF MERCY
WE COULD STAND TO USE - A LITTLE BIT OF UNDERSTANDING
DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY WITH THE BREEZE
YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT BACK
YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED
THEY SAY, PEOPLE, YOU GOTTA BELIEVE
IN SOMETHING, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
BUT SOMETHING THAT CAN SET YOUR WORRIES FREE
ALL THAT WE NEED IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MERCY
WE COULD STAND TO USE A LITTLE BIT OF UNDERSTANDING
