Message For Mercy

As the courts up in the sky

look upon our state of life, we wonder

Decades come and decades go,

kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, like thunder

Take a look what’s going round’

and tell me if you really know the answer

HE who has remote control we’re asking

for some miracles

Message For Mercy, can you lift us from this fear

Message For Mercy, it’s been raining hard down here

Message, Message, Message For Mercy

Empty mouths around the globe are planting

but their seeds won’t grow so easy

People live the city streets, where shelter is beneath the rain spouts leaking

Now I don’t know what you might see

but it won’t take a genius to feel this conflict

What is there still left to be if we can’t

solve our miseries

Message For Mercy, can you lift us from this fear

Message For Mercy, it’s been raining hard down here

Message, Message, Message For Mercy

Additional Verse & Chorus – not sung in the song:

Heartache lives within our souls
and shameless wars won’t let us go (it’s real)

Who will be the first to know
if they drop the one that glows (so deep)

Those who break the laws in stone
will cast the deeds that will shake their thrones apart

Won’t paradise address itself and come upon and change the earth

Message For Mercy, can you lift us from this fear

Message For Mercy, it’s been raining hard down here

Message For Mercy, will you take this weight from our tears

Message For Mercy, is our message coming in clear

Message, Message, Message For Mercy
