Mercy - The Innocence Mission

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
