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

And 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, yeah, yeah

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 and we got to get together, yeah

Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get

Till there is no reason to fight

Mercy, will we overcome this?

Yeah, 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

Oh, mercy, will we overcome this?

Oh, have we come too far to turn it around?

Ask too much to be a little bit stronger

'Cause 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
