If I was the sun

And you were the rain

Then maybe I'd see

Why we can't meet again

If I were born free

And you were in chains

Then I'd understand

All of this hurt and pain

Whoa, ho, oh, sweet mercy me

Whoa, ho, oh, sweet mercy me

I thought we were two hands working as one

I thought it was love but it had never begun

If you were my pride

And I was your shame

Then maybe I'd remember

To forget your name

And if love was a lie

And it hid from the truth

Then I'd understand

Why I'm so lost to you

Whoa, ho, oh, sweet mercy me

Whoa, ho, oh, sweet mercy me

I thought we were two hands working as one

I thought it was love but it had never begun

If I were a rebel

And you were my cause

Would I still love you

Yes I am a rebel

And you are my cause

And I still love you

My darling of course

Whoa, ho, oh, sweet mercy me

Whoa, ho, oh, sweet mercy me

I thought we were two hands working as one

I thought it was love but it had never begun

I thought we were two hands beating in time

Oh, tell me when will your love ever be mine

I thought we were two hands working as one

I thought it was love but it had never begun
