lyrics

MERCY

Give you all I got, it’s not enough for you
The tears they don’t drop ‘cause they’re tired and blue
And broken over you
I’m down on my knees
Mercy

Now I’m just a man at the end of his line
I do what I can but it’s just not my time
Won’t you show me a sign
I’m down on my knees
Mercy

There’s a monkey on my back but he ain’t the one
To blame for what I lack or for all that’s left undone
Yea there’s nowhere left to run
I’m down on my knees
Mercy

There’s a better road I know not the same ol’ highway
But I have been told that there’s a brighter day
Won’t you show me the way
I’m down on my knees
Mercy

I’m down on my knees
Mercy, Mercy
Mercy, Mercy
