Words and music by Lowell Alexander
Verse 1
Guess we all can see, looking back on our lives
Parts of the story on the page, are a sad, sad sight
It don’t take too much, to come apart at the seams
Makes you learn to love, what mercy means
Chorus:
Mercy means at the heart of regret,
God forgives and God forgets
Like being shackled in chains
Then finding you’re free
Living again is what mercy means
Verse 2
Seen those motorcades, a mile or two long
In the middle of the day, with the headlights on
Don’t take too much, in these tragic scenes
To make you learn how to love, what mercy means
Chorus
Bridge:
There’s a world out there, saying stay in your grave
But grace and prayer, roll stones away
Chorus
Tag:
Livin’ again, is what mercy means
Oh yeah….That’s what mercy means
(Livin’ again, livin’ again….Livin’ again, livin’ again…)
I wanna wanna live again
(Livin’ again, livin’ again) Yes I am (Livin’ again, livin’ again’)
That’s what mercy means
(Livin’ again, livin’ again) Yeah, yeah (Livin’ again, livin’ again)
Oh yes, I’m free
(Livin’ again, livin’ again) I’m free (Livin’ again, livin’ again)
That’s what mercy, that’s what mercy means!
(Livin’ again, livin’ again)
