Mercy

Maybe that's what I need... just a little bit of mercy. I'm crying foul, sweet friends. There's a skinny girl inside me who is screaming, my life is a complete mess, and I'm really struggling.

I CAN'T GIVE UP.
I WILL NOT GIVE UP.
I REFUSE TO GIVE UP.

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.
