Judith Owen Lyrics
"Mother Mercy"

Thank you
For giving me the time to learn, I wanna thank you
Letting me burn all those bridges, let me thank you
For knowing that it wouldn't be my day

'Cause you may lose your mind
And you may lose your way
But this is the pursuit of happiness

And Mother Mercy, hear your daughter
I'm a baby in the bullrush; I'm a ship out of water
Don't you know that I've done denying?
I'm crying with laughter, so
Smother me, mother me
'Cause love is what we're all after
Oh-ohh

Thank you
For letting me sink lower than I should have
Thank you
For knowing that the pain would do me good
Thank you
For knowing that I would be understood some day

'Cause you might lose your mind
And you might lose your way
This is the pursuit of happiness

So, Mother Mercy, hear your daughter
I'm a baby in the bullrush; I'm a ship out of water
Don't you know that I've done denying?
I'm crying with laughter, so, come on
Smother me, mother me
'Cause love is what we're all after
Oh, no
Mother Mercy

Mother Mercy
Won't you help me?
Mother Mercy
Help
Won't you help, won't you help me?
Ohh, yes
Won't you, won't you help me?
Mother Mercy, won't you help me?
