Song Description

Thou art that. Walk a mile in my shoes.

Lyrics

NOT A MOUNTAIN OF FAITH
NOR A VALLEY OF TEARS WON'T MEET MY NEED
ALL THE RADIANT CARS TRAVEL THE AVENUE OF STARS
THOSE DOORS NEVER OPEN
I'M BLENDING IN WITH THE STORE FRONTS
A QUARTER-POUND OF CHILL THROUGH MY SOCKS
CLOTHES HANG HEAVY IN THE RAIN
I'M RAISING MY CUP
LOWERING MY EYES
LIFTING MY VOICE
TO THE CITY STREET REPRISE

WON'T YOU TOUCH ME
WON'T YOU TOUCH ME
HEAL ME WITH YOUR MERCY HAND

THERE'S A CHURCH ON THE CORNER OF MONUMENT AND DOOM
YOU'VE GOTTA SEE IT
THERE ARE RINGS AROUND A PLANET AND CRATERS ON THE MOON
THE SCIENTISTS SAY
THERE ARE HOLES IN THE SYSTEM
HAVES AND HAVE NOTS
FEW STAND ABOVE THE CRACKS
WHILE THE POOR ARE BORROWED AND BOUGHT
NOW I'M RAISING MY CUP
LOWERING MY SIGHTS
LIFTING MY VOICE TO THE CITY STREET REPRISE

IT'S A LONG WAY UP
IT'S A LONG LONG WAY TO THE PENTHOUSE
IT'S A LONG WAY UP TO A MEAL

MY SKIES ARE STILL BLUE
THOUGH SOMETIMES CLOUDY
AND ALL THE NIGHT STARS FLICKER
COMFORT-CODED INSTRUCTIONS
THEY KNOW ME BETTER
THAN ALL THE SALESMEN DO
SOMEHOW THE CHILDERN STILL SEE ME
I PRAY THEY'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO
WHEN I RAISE MY CUP
LOWER MY EYES
LIFT MY VOICE
WITH A HUNGER PAIN REPRISE

WON'T YOU TOUCH ME
WON'T YOU TOUCH ME
HEAL ME WITH YOUR MERCY HAND

HEAL ME FEED ME TOUCH ME WITH YOUR MERCY HAND
