Lyrics
Mercy come upon us, mercy let us go
Hold me up just longer, shine a light on hope
Shine upon what's missing, shine upon the rest
Calm the winds inside me, torrents in my chest
It only takes a moment for a lifetime to go by
It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs
You will not remember, though you were the same
The jewel of June, the Gemini, forever shares your name
Forever in our minds, as if love would obey time
As if wonder could be lost, as if truth could tell a lie
It only takes moment for a lifetime to go by
It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs
Mercy you're upon us, mercy you've been slow
Lest you think we're stronger, for what we've got to show
Cast upon what shines now, a shadow laid to rest
The voices of our fathers, whispers of our death
It only takes moment for a lifetime to go by
It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs
Writer(s): Kenneth A Pattengale, Joseph Edward Ryan
