Mission of Mercy

"I can't give up" I heard him say the day he left

Fadin' footsteps on hot cement

I don't know where he went but he left in a hurry

He's sayin' somethin' about a mission of mercy

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all

As she lies stretched out in the hall

Waiting for him to call

Oh, the mercy of his mission still isn't quite clear

He had a different angle then what it would appear

Now I don't know where he went but he left in such a hurry

He's sayin' somethin' about a mission of mercy

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all

As she lies stretched out in the hall

Waiting for him to

Call us, please, someday

At least you could explain

Call us, please, someday

Oh, I never knew mercy could feel this way

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all

As she lies stretched out in the hall

Doesn't seem like my mama at all

She's waiting there for him to

Call us, please, someday

At least you could explain

Call us, please, someday

Oh, I never knew mercy could feel this way

I never knew mercy could feel this way
