Mercy Was Here

california called us home and we came running
its good to be back in the sun
you could wait all day for the wind and the rain
just to quietly pass us by
keep your head up girl
keep on believing
we're very close but were still far
so i'll wait my turn im next in line
its only for now
tomorrow slowly gaining
just in time for everyone to see how long it would be
until i come back
if empty pockets sends me home and i come running
would the blame go on for days
underneath the weight and the size of a smile
they could easily pass us by
california called me home and i came running
it's good to be back in the sun
your always welcome in the sun
