Mercy

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (78)

Simplicity, does not come easy  When you’re dreaming of being someone else  And grace you see is fleeting  When you’re bleeding your innerself Have Mercy on me please  Have Mercy, I’m on my knees  I’m being broken again and again  I’ll keep being broken until I remain  Open When you're locked away,  Fighting shadows, constant battles  Trying to feel safe  When your own armor starts killing you,  Cause it’s causing you to sink beneath its weight Call for mercy, won’t you please  Call for mercy, get on your knees  You’re being broken, again and again  You’ll keep being broken, until you remain  Open So feel the pain, give into it  Cry till you crack, that’s how the light gets in  Set your weapons on the ground  Until you’re naked and trembling now  And when you think you can’t stand any more Give mercy to someone in need  Give mercy, don't you see  Life will break our hearts, again and again  We’ll keep being broken until we remain  Open Can’t you see  I have broken wide open  Let yourself be broken wide open  I have broken open

Mercy Written by Jewel Albums Picking Up the Pieces, 2015 Length 3:46      (78 known performances) “This is the newest song on the album. I wrote it for myself. I was in a lot of pain when I wrote it. It really touches me when I sing it. It reminds me a little bit of “Hands” just in its message: yielding and giving instead of being more brittle and fighting and armored. I’ve been playing it live recently and it seems to be bringing a lot of comfort to people. People often cry when I sing it. It's always nice when you create something for yourself that you really needed to hear and it seems to be something other people needed to hear as well.” — Picking Up the Pieces Press Release
