Lyrics Mercy Now - Mike Farris

Mercy Now

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
