Mercy

Don’t give up, I know you can see

All the world and the mess that we’re making

Can’t give up and hope God will intercede

Come on back, imagine that we could get it together

Stand up for what we need to be

‘Cause crime won’t save or feed a hungry child

Can’t lay down and wait for a miracle to change things

So lift up your eyes, lift up your heart

Singing, mercy will we overcome this

Oh, one by one, could we turn it around

Maybe carry on just a little bit longer

And I’ll try to give you what you need

Me and you, and you, and you just wanna be free

But you see, all the world is just as we’ve made it

And until we got a new world I’ve got to say

That love is not a whisper or a weakness

No, love is strong, so we got to get together

Yeah, gotta get, gotta get, gotta get

‘Til there is no reason to fight

Mercy, will we overcome this

Oh, one by one, could we turn it around

Maybe carry on just a little bit longer

And I’ll try to give you what you need

Mercy, will we overcome this

Have we come too far to turn it around

Ask too much to be a little bit stronger

But I wanna give you what you need

Mercy, what will become of us

Oh, one by one, could we turn it around

Maybe carry on just a little bit longer

And I’ll try to give you what you need
