Mercy Triumph - Josh Garrels

>From the time that I was born The walls of trouble I adorned Mama tried to teach me well But I was busy raisin' hell I've got a taste for fighting Hands as fast as lightning Can't you see the writing on the walls CHORUS: Troublemaker Always last in line Troublemaker, livin' on borrowed time I don't wait for Lady Luck, I take her Troublemaker They call me bad but I'm number one Watch out the good die young Spent my life runnin' wild Call me the devil's child Don't play with me cause I'm fire A loaded gun for hire My trigger finger's itching for the kill CHORUS >From the time that I was born It's like a scar that I have worn My mama tried to teach me well I was much too busy raisin' hell Got a taste for fighting Hands as fast as lightning Can't you see the writing on the wall CHORUS

If looks could kill then I know she would She's playing the part, you know it's understood I know the second glance was my first mistake Well, I took the chance that I had to take Fire in her eyes made my blood run cold She took me by surprise and I'm Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light I don't make promises that I can't keep But I better think it over, I'm in way too deep I'm shook up, paralyzed by her icy stare Long legs and her golden hair Late night love is on my mind She took me by surprise and I'm Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light I'm on a one way ride to where I just don't know She put a spell on me, the fantasy comes and goes I clear my head in the morning light Start all over when I feel alright I've gotta shape up before it's too late I think I'm losin' my mind and I'm Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line Spellbound, will my head be clear, can I make it alright Spellbound, can't find a reason, can't find a rhyme Spellbound, give me a signal, show me a sign Spellbound, will my head be clear in the morning light

Look in the mirror tell me what do you see Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night You want to think you're different, but you know you never can You're just another ordinary man Hey politician, can't believe a word you say Almighty media, whose truth d'you serve today? Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you? Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to? The more I get to see, the less I understand I'm just another ordinary man CHORUS: Ordinary man Ordinary man Just another ordinary man Comes a time to take a stand No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman Everybody plays the game they played since time began Lawyers and accountant - your media man Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head I see the flash of lightnin' I hear the thunder roll A hungry knife, a slice of life It cuts another soul Power finds a way to those who take a stand Stand up ordinary man Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free But now I feel the chains of its responsibility I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can That's the only answer... for an ordinary man CHORUS No such thing as easy answers You play to win and you take your chances CHORUS Here's to health, here's to wealth May you never doubt yourself CHORUS

The times are changin' I can feel it in my bones Cause I'm standing on the edge of the other side of all that I've known It's been a long time comin' I take one last breath With my eyes open wide, smilin' up into the skies, it begins with a step For the world awaits Like a mother celebrates A child who's life's begun Step across that line Out into the sunshine O Lord, my time has come I'm gonna run I'm gonna run Strength like a lion burns like fire in my veins Cause I will run and I will not grow weary until I'm face to face I feel the pleasure of my Lord when I'm in stride For the glory of the Lord is man who is completely alive For the world awaits Like a mother celebrates A child who's life's begun Step across that line Out into the sunshine O Lord, my time has come I'm gonna run I'm gonna run
