Lyrics

Mercy
Marghi Allen
(c) 1998

I saw her face in my head
I heard her voice in my mind
I felt her pain and I knew that she
Was running out of time

So I reached across the sky to her
And I tried to hold her hand
And I tried to show her where I was
Here in this troubled land

There?s something wrong in Jericho
The walls are tumbling down
There will be no place for us to go
If mercy is not found

I saw it all on the news, again
How he held a gun to their heads
Now he?s gone it is hard to feel
Any grief that boy is dead

So I searched down deep my heart
Just to try to understand
How he?d come to such an end
Here in this troubled land

But we can change the world right now
And I?m going to tell you how
Like echos in a canyon
Like ripples on the water
Like star ight on a cloudless night
Or angels singing loud
A little drop of mercy goes
A long, long way.

I still see her face in the clouds sometimes
Her beautiful face fills my heart
Was there anything I could have done
To keep her from the dark?

Oh there?s something wrong in Jerico
Our children lie in the ground
There will be no place for us to go
If mercy is not found
