I got stoned in Norman's kitchen
We was talkin' 'bout the facts o' life
He asked me was I happy
As I reached for the butter knife
I said no, and I made a sandwich
And I poured myself a cup o' tea
When that cat started prayin'
The Spirit fell on me
I got up to use the bathroom
I said, "excuse me please"
But I couldn't help from laughin'
And I felt shaky in the knees
As I leaned against the mirror
My heart let out a sigh
Like somethin' heavy left me
And I opened up my eyes
I can see
I am free
And I'm who I wanna be
Mercy me
Mercy me
Mercy me
Whoo
I was born in dusty Stockton
And I grew up in San Jose
But I never started livin'
Until I learned to pray
Now my parents they ignore me
They say I've gotten stranged
But when you're touched by Heaven
You know dat somethin's bound to change
Well, I can see
I am free
And I'm who I want to be
Mercy me
Mercy me
Mercy Me
