Jacob Banks - The Boy Who Cried Freedom

Mercy

Followed your name into the wild, yeah, yeah
Showed my shame, I ran a mile
I sing your lullaby, your melodies, like a symphony
We burn the same inside a fire

I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believe
I just need a little mercy, oh mercy on me

I played the game, I reconciled, well, well, well, well
I wear the blame like a suit and tie
I sing your lullaby, your melodies, like a symphony
We fall the same when we walk the wire

I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believe
I just need a little mercy, oh mercy on me

I keep growing and
You keep tearing me down, oh
I keep growing and
You keep tearing me down, oh

I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I drank your holy water, your liberty, your make-believe
I just need a little mercy, oh mercy on me
