Have Mercy

I’m awake while your dreaming

With your head in your hands

Parting words left repeating

Present day circumstances

Telling tales of legacy

Looking up to the moon

Without wavering you said

Change is coming soon

Don't you wait for me

It's now your time to lead

If we have

If all we have

Is deep regret for taken life

Well then

Patience is our burden

Have mercy

You would have me believing

That I don’t understand

That a soul of a nation

Rests in all of our hands

Asking what you want from me

As we pace round the room

Without wavering I said

What is left to lose?

Don't you wait for me

It's now your time to lead

If we have

If all we have

Is deep regret for taken life

Well then

Patience is our burden

If we have

If all we have

Is deep regret for taken lives

Well then

Patience is our burden, Have mercy
