[Verse 1] Lord I’m down, upon the ground Waitin' for a better sound Sun is sinkin' in the sky Ask me where the reasons lie Searchin' for a piece of mind Left the bitter world behind [Chorus] Oh, grant me some mercy now Don't ask me when or how I’m just lookin' for the truth Since the days of my youth Mercy on me [Verse 2] Cold wind blowin' through the trees Bring me down upon my knees River flowin' to the sea Prayin' for a brand new me Heavy weight upon my back Walkin' on this narrow track [Chorus] Oh, grant me some mercy now Don't ask me when or how I’m just lookin' for the truth Since the days of my youth Mercy on me [Verse 3] I can see the mountain top Knowin' that I cannot stop Through the fire and the rain Breakin' every single chain Hope is all I got to hold More than silver, more than gold [Chorus] Oh, grant me some mercy now Don't ask me when or how I’m just lookin' for the truth Since the days of my youth Mercy on me
