"Mercy" Lyrics

I can't seem to find the words
To say the things I want to say to you
I must be burnin' out

One night a long, long time ago
My mother told me I should go to you
With all my thoughts and dreams

Please, please tell me
What you gonna do
When every princess comes to you singin'?

Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation for my soul

It's just that I can't justify
How you can let them do the things they do
Well, I'd let them have it good

They laugh and totally forget
That all creation is because of you
How do you do such things?

Please, please tell me
What you gonna do
When all the losers cling to you singin'?

Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation and some mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy on my soul

Solo

Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation for my soul
Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation and some mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy on my soul
