Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My father could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over, it won't be long, he won't be around
I love my father, he could use some mercy now
[Verse 2]
My brother could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom, he's shackled to his fear and his doubt
The pain that he lives in, it's almost more than living will allow
I love my brother, he could use some mercy now
[Verse 3]
My church and my country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit that's gonna take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them down
I love my church and country, they could use some mercy now
[Verse 4]
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race
Towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, they'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now
[Verse 5]
Yeah, we all 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 hollowed ground
And every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
[Verse 6]
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
