[Verse 1] Hear Micah at the gate Feet on cracked stone The case is clear The poor were left alone Hands on the scale Mouth full of lies A cloak on the altar A knife in disguise What good is a feast With famine outside? What good is a chant If the widow still cries? You want clean hands But the well ran red You want a soft verdict But the Judge came instead [Pre-Chorus] He sees the bribe He sees the bruise He knows the names We tried to lose And still He leans in Still He calls us near Justice with a pulse Turn fear to tears [Chorus] Good news for the bad guys Good news for the bad guys Justice is coming And mercy is here Good news for the bad guys Good news for the bad guys Kneel in the daylight Repent, then come near [Verse 2] Mountains lean in When the Holy One speaks Rivers back up When He searches the weak Stolen weight in the grain sack Blood on the seam Power in the palace Rot in the beam You built your walls high He sees through the dust He breaks the false peace But He breaks it with trust Not to humiliate Not to erase To pull hard hearts Back into face-to-face [Pre-Chorus] He shakes the ground To wake the numb He names the wound Till healing comes The sword is a mirror The fire is light The verdict is mercy For those in the night [Chorus] Good news for the bad guys Good news for the bad guys Justice is coming And mercy is here Good news for the bad guys Good news for the bad guys Kneel in the daylight Repent, then come near [Bridge] If you made your bed in fraud He can still make it new If your mouth wrote the lie He can teach it truth He does not chase to crush He chases to save The Judge steps down To bring back the slave [Break] (come home) (scratched: justice and mercy) (come home) (turn back) [Final Chorus] Good news for the bad guys Good news for the bad guys Justice is coming And mercy is here Good news for the bad guys Good news for the bad guys The proud go low And the lost come near Good news for the bad guys Good news for the bad guys Kneel in the daylight Repent, then come near
