[Verse 1]
Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that we're making
Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back
Imagine that
We could get it together
Stand up
For what we need to be
Because crying won't save or feed a hungry child
Can't lay down and
Wait for a miracle to change things
So, lift up your eyes, lift up your heart
Singing
[Chorus]
Mercy, will we overcome this?
One by one, could we just turn it around?
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
And I'll try to give you what you need
[Verse 2]
Me and you and you and you
Just want to be free yeah yeah
But you see
All the world is just as we have made it
And until we've got a new world
I got to say that
Love is not a whisper or a weakness
No, love is strong
Now we got to get it together, yeah
Got to get, got to get, got to get
Until there is no reason
To fight
[Chorus]
Mercy, will we overcome this?
One by one, could we just turn it around?
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
And I'll try to give you what you need
Mercy, will we overcome this?
One by one, could we just turn it around?
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
And I'll try to give you what you need
Mercy, will we overcome this?
One by one, could we just turn it around?
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
And I'll try to give you what you need
