I Got Life
Mercy Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching you feeling more
Breaking through an open door
Bring your rage, what to gain
All you ever bought was pain

I got life, I got mine
I've got family, I got time
I've got hands to make it right
And I've got love and I will survive

Well, I've got anger
And it's in my soul
Well, I've got rage
But I've got control

Well, I've got patience
But you're on my toes
You light my fire
Now see me grow

Anger strike, weakened heart
Healing is our only part
Back to one, what you've begun
Love might be our strongest gun





Like the rain our hope is falling
But with the sun comes a brand new day

Watching you feeling more
Breaking through an open door
Bring your rage
What to gain
All you ever bought was pain

I got life
I got mine
I've got family
I got time
I've got hands to make it right
And I've got love
And I will survive

(chorus)
Well I've got anger
And it's in my soul
Well I've got rage
But I've got control
Well I've got patience
But you're on my toes
You light my fire
Now see me grow

Anger strike
Weakened heart
Healing is our only part
Back to one
What you've begun
Love might be our strongest gun

Like the rain our hope is falling
But with the sun comes a brand new day

I seen these guys live in november '07 in Austintown, Ohio. They opened for Crossfade and Buckcherry. The vocalist Sam was going around after their set selling cd's. I got to talk to him and he autographed my cd case. Was pretty cool meeting him and hearing their music.

Too many years gone by........I still need new music from these dudes. 😔

Wish I knew about these guys when they were still around so I could have gone to a concert.

I saw these guys back in 06. They were pretty good. I followed them for a bit when they became Corvo Radio(?) but lost track of them years ago.
