"Mercy" lyrics - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess 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 where we need to be
'Cause crying won't save or feed a hungry child
Can't lay down
Wait for a miracle to change things
Lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart
Singing

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

Me and you and you and you
Just wanna 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 gotta say
Love is not a whisper or a weakness
No, love is strong
Now we've gotta get it together
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get
Till there is no reason
To fight

Mercy, will we overcome this?
One by one, could we 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?
Have we come too far to turn it around?
Is it ask too much to be a little bit stonger
'Cause I wanna give you what you need

Mercy, what will become of us?
One by one, could we turn it around?
Maybe... carry on just a little bit longer
And I'll try to give you what you need
