Mercy

Spent alot of years wasting time
Done a lot of damage I’m not proud of
Spit a lot of venom I can never take back
Took a lot of chances, but never on love

We have demons, crosses to bare
I just want you to hear my prayers

Have mercy, mercy for me and I’ll have mercy, mercy for you

I threw a lot of stones in the river of life
Cast judgment without a second thought
Made snap decisions without batting an eye
Used my head and my pride and not my heart

We all have battles and stories to share
I was caught up in my own despair

Have mercy, mercy for me and I’ll have mercy, mercy for you

Time to forget, time to forgive
A new day a new beginning

Might be my age, a time of refection
Want to leave a good legacy
People will talk about you after you’re gone
Make sure you leave a good memory

We’re all broken, none beyond repair
I think I get it, I’m finally there

Have mercy, mercy for me and I’ll have mercy, mercy for you
