Lyrics Mercy - The Innocence Mission

Mercy

There is my kite caught around a signpost
The sign says, ‽You are almost thereâ€
So I was right, there is a Heaven
Very near, very near
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
Some days my kite goes where I cannot see
And I feel happy for its freedom
When it’s tangled in trees and wires
I know it’s my own fault, all my fault
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
One day my kite will escape forever
And I will jump to catch the trailing string
Wishes and wants will fall from my pocket
As I wave, full of peace
There are no fires
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires
There are no fires
There is only mercy
There is only mercy
Mercy, mercy
There are no fires
There is only mercy
