Where Mercy Lives.mp4

Mercy lives on Taylor Street across from the 7-Eleven Mercy's Mom works late every night and her Daddy lives in Heaven Every night she hears the gunshots and every day she's sees the knives But she doesn't think it's odd, that's just life Where Mercy lives When push comes to shove Who will show her what mercy is And show her God's love They could use a love like His Where Mercy lives Mercy's not old enough for grammar school but she's learning the law of the jungle And she's so afraid and she's so confused and she's already losing her wonder And it seems such a crime 'cause there's so many like her So we turn a blind eye and we get what we deserve Where Mercy lives When push comes to shove Who will show her what mercy is And show her God's love They could use a love like His Where Mercy lives And by the time she's fifteen Will she be somebody's Mama? And what kind of life will there be For her sons and her daughters? Where Mercy lives When push comes to shove Who will show her what mercy is And show her God's love They could use a love like His Where Mercy lives
