Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that were making

Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back

Imagine that we could get it together
Stand up for what we need to be
Cause crime won't save our feet or hungry child

Can't lay down and hope no miracles change things
So lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart

Singing mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer

And I try to give you what you need
Me and you and you and you
Just want to be free yeah

But you see all the world is just as we've made it
And until we got a new world
Got to say that love is not a whisper or a weakness

No love is strong
So we got to get together yeah
Gotta get gotta get gotta get

Til there is no reason
To fight
Mercy will we overcome this

Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need

Yeah?
Ah?
Oh?

Yeah?
Mercy will we overcome this
Oh we come to far to turn it around

Oh and asked too much to be a little bit stronger
But I want to give you what you need
Mercy what will become of us

Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need
