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.
Stand up for what we need to be,
'cause crime won't save our feet or hungry child. 
Can't lay down and hope no miracles 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 want to be free, yeah.
But, you see all the world is just as we've made it.
And until we got a new world,
I 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?
Oh, we've come too far to turn it around.
Oh, and asked too much to be a little bit stronger.
But, I want to 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.
