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
