Mercy Lyrics

Mercy

-----

There is my kite

Caught around a signpost

The sign says: You are almost there.

So I was right - there is a Heaven

Very near

 

But there are no fires in hell

There is only Mercy

 

Some days my kite goes where I cannot see

And I feel happy for its freedom

When it's tangled in the trees and wires

I know it's my own fault

All my fault

 

But there are no fires in hell

There is only Mercy

(I believe)

 

One day my kite will escape forever

And I will jump to catch the trailing string

Wishes and wants will fall from my pocket

As I wave, full of peace
