Steve Lillywhite - Mercy lyrics

[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
