Mercy Now Songtext

von Mike Farris

My father; could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor; fall and rot here on the ground
His work is almost over; pretty soon he won't be around
I love my father; he could use a little mercy now

My brother; could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom; shackled to his fears and doubts
The pain that he lives in; it's almost more than living will allow
And I love my brother; he could use a little mercy now
Oh, yes he can

Every living thing; could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace; can end the race towards the mushroom cloud
The people in power; they'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life and life itself; could use a little mercy now

Everything; could use a little mercy now
I know we don't deserve it; but we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance; dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
Every single one of us; could use a little mercy now
Every single one of us; could use a little mercy now
Every single one of us; could use a little mercy now
