Barcelona -- Jewel

Barcelona
Jewel


Barcelona, where the winds all blew
Where the churches don't have windows but the graveyards do
Me and my shadow are wrestling again
But look out, stranger, there's a dark cloud moving in

But if you could hear the voice in my heart
It would tell you I'm afraid I am alone

Won't somebody please
Hold me
Release me
Show me
The meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Fly
Let me fly

Super paranoid
I'm blending, I'm blurring
I'm bleeding into the scenery
Loving someone else was always so much easier
But I hold myself hostage in the mirror

But if you could hear the voice in my heart
It would tell you I'm tired of feeling this way

God, won't you please
Hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Fly
Let me fly

And I won't be held down
I won't be held back
I will lead with my faith

The red light has been following me
But don't worry, mother, it's no longer my gravity

Hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me fly
Let me fly
Let me fly
