Up eleven floors
From a crowded street
Friends who once were strangers
Meet every other week
This is where we stumble
In the quiet of our talk
Love forever reaching
Four hearts in a knot, and I'm thinking

Mercy me, oh mercy me, if this is what I've got
Make me more of who I am
And less of what I'm not
Deliver me from evil and out of danger's lair
Mercy, you have found me
I'd know you anywhere

Stephen signs his name
To paintings on a wall
He leaves them all untitled
The big ones and the small
'Cause words cannot do justice
To what he feels inside
A caldron of emotions
Is so hard to describe, and I'm thinking

CHORUS

Julie goes to school
After working nine to five
I wonder how she does it
How she sets aside the time
To share these awkward moments
As the light begins to dim
To speak what was unspoken
To climb a new-found limb, and I'm thinking

Chorus

Anywhere there's a fault in the fault line
Anywhere there's a raging sea
This is where I begin to know you

One of us is leaving
I cannot say her name
I think she knows we'll miss her
And things just won't be the same
But somewhere in this tiny room
She has left her mark
A Cuban benediction
A fierce and joyous heart, and I'm singing

Mercy me, oh mercy me, oh look at what I've got
Make me more of who I am
And less of what I'm not
Deliver me from evil and out of danger's lair
Mercy you have found me
I'd know you anywhere
Mercy you have found me
I'd know you anywhere
