I Like to Write Songs

Verse 1
Cary ourselves up from dreams
Where broken lives are pretty things
The world is war there is no peace
Now hear us cry out please
Mercy mercy mercy

Chorus
Take our chains
Set us free
There must be room
For you and me
Take my heart
It’s yours to keep
And with every misspent beat
I cry mercy

Verse 2
We all feel like we’re on our own
But you don’t have to walk alone
No, I have also this way come
To shout beside you please
Mercy mercy mercy

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
The Lord He has no time for us
For we are nothing but the dust
What looks like gold is none but rust
But still we call out to Him please
Mercy mercy mercy

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
We crave the truth
But no one wants it known
We’ve given every right away
Our lives are not our own
We call for peace
But slay our brothers
You’d give up the right to breath
But you wouldn’t dare be smothered!

Repeat Chorus
