My father sure could use a little mercy now

The fruits of his labor fall and rot slowly on the ground

His work is almost over, it won''''t be long, he won''''t be around
D G G G
I love my father, he could use some mercy now
[Verse 2]

And my brother could use a little mercy now
D G G
He''''s a stranger to freedom, he''''s shackled to his fear and his doubt

The pain that he lives in it''''s almost more than living will allow
D G G
I love my bother, he could use some mercy now
[Verse 3]

My church and my country could use a little mercy now

As they sink into a poisoned pit it''''s going to take forever to climb out

They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them down
D G G G G
I love my church and country, they could use some mercy now

Every living thing could use a little mercy now
D G G G G
Only the hand of grace can end the race towards another mushroom cloud
G G7 G C C
People in power, they''''ll do anything to keep their crown

I love life and life itself could use some mercy now

Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now

We hang in the balance dangle ''''tween hell and hallowed ground
D G G
And every single one of us could use some mercy now
[Outro]

Every single one of us could use some mercy now
