Mercy lyrics

Wading through the river
I see my reflection wash away
Currents of sorrow take me far below
Yet here I am, steadfast and true

And now I can't help it
Feeling myself drift away
Like an old dog past his day
How have I been led astray?

So hear me cry, call out for mercy
I'm begging you please, oh please
And if I'm a man, I shouldn't need it
But I'm desperate, I'm desperate to treat it

Memories of courage I reminisce
Now they sink with me into the abyss
Maybe I should've swam through the trials
Maybe I should've waited through the tribulations

So hear me cry
Call out for mercy
I'm begging you please, oh please
And if I'm a man, I shouldn't need it
But I'm desperate, desperate to treat it
Oh oh oh oh
So hear me cry
