[Verse 1]
AMy father could use a little mercy Dnow
The fruits Eof his labor fall and rot Ahere on the groundA  
AHis work is almost over pretty soon, he won't be arounDd
I lEove my father,   he could use some mercy nAow
[Verse 2]
AMy brother could use a little mercy Dnow
EHe's a stranger to freedom, he's shackled to his fAears anAd his doubts
AThe pain that he lives in it's almost more than living will alDlow
I Elove my bother, he could use some mercy Anow
[Verse 3]
AEvery living thing could use a little mercy Dnow
EOnly the hand of grace can end the race towards another mushroom Acloud
AOh the people in power, they'll do anything Dto keep their crown
EI love life and life itself could use some mercy Anow
[Verse 4]
AWe all could use a little mercy noD  
EI know we don't deserve it but we need it anyAhow
AWe hang in the balance dangle 'tween hDell and hallowed ground
EOh everything could use some mercy nAow
[Outro]
EEvery single one of us could use some mercAy now
EEvery single one of us could use a little mercAy now
[Outro]
