Mercy Me Lyrics

Been a long time on this road
There was a stage when I believed it
Now the signs are pointing nowhere
I'm not sure I can receive it
If there's a message on that tree
If there's mercy there for me
Please help me to confess my sins
I've got a burden and it's hurting me

(Chorus)
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
I've got nothing left to say
And I lost my f*****' way
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
I was born in blood and darkness
On the bad side of the street
My family, you were renegades
That couldn't hear the different beat

There's a door which says salvation
And a passageway to hell
But I've got no one to rely on
No one to wish me well
(Chorus)

Will you help me to return to you?
Will you receive me as your own?
Will you set aside my sorrow?
Can you see that I'm alone?

Is there a way I can repay
All the ugly things I've done?
Is there another way to live
Beneath this dying, dying sun?

(Chorus)
