Mercy Now - Mike Farris

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

And 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

Oooohhhh

Oooohhhh

Oooohhhh

Oooohh

Ooohhh

Every living thing

Could use a little mercy now

Only the hand of grace

Can end the race towards the mushroom cloud

Oh the people in power

They'll do anything to keep their crown

I love life and life itself

Could use a little mercy now

Ooohhh yeah

Everything

Could use a little mercy now

Oh I know we don't deserve it

But we need it anyhow

Ooohh yes we do

Ooh we hang in the balance

Dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground

Oh every single one of us

Could use a little mercy now

Oh every single one of us

Could use a little mercy now

Ooohhh yeah

Oh every single one of us

Could use a little mercy now oohhh
