Mercy
Mercy Mercy Mercy
You’re the most beautiful being I’ve seen,
A glance of your face nourishes me within
The sound of your voice
Accelerates the beat of my heart
The freckles beneath your round eyes
Weakens every limb in my body
It pains me to not compliment
On your curved body
Your dolly face
Your risqué walk
Thus I complain
While am locked in my room
On how life is so unfair
Why wouldn’t I just have even that least?
Of what Lincoln, Martin, Mandela, Rosa had
Just a bit of that courage
To stand and face you
And tell you how much
I adore you, like you and love you
Tell you how much I would give to have you
Tell you how big a world you mean to me
Just a bit of that courage I’d wish
For my life to give
And certainly not this grieve
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,
It’s the song, the feeling and the name
That I call out silently on your presence
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
