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

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
