lyrics

Maybe this should come as no surprise but the world it slaps you with its lies
And you can’t go back to blinded eyes ‘cause there’s a price to pay
Now you can’t sleep when your head pounds and you can’t get up when you’re falling down
And you cannot walk on shaky ground but you must be on your way

And all the people cry
Lord have mercy, lord have mercy, lord have mercy
We’ve got to find some sweet release
Heaven help us, heaven help us, heaven help us
We’re falling down upon our knees

Now you go to find solace in the house of God, but all you find is your soul rots
You don’t know what you are or what you’re not, but they are not like you
Yet there must be wrong and must be right, but there’s evil in the sweetest light
And goodness in the blackest night and you don’t know what to do

And all the people cry
Lord have mercy, lord have mercy, lord have mercy
We’ve got to find some sweet release
Heaven help us, heaven help us, heaven help us
We’re falling down upon our knees

So is it better or is it worse that you aren’t blessed and you aren’t cursed
And others yes they’ve been here first they’ve walked this weary land
And some they die before they age and others clinch their fists in rage
And some are freed from this cage and you cannot understand

And all the people cry
Lord have mercy, lord have mercy, lord have mercy
We’ve got to find some sweet release
Heaven help us, heaven help us, heaven help us
We’re falling down upon our knees
