|
Time goes by so quickly now |
|
On this freight train line |
|
Through my hometown |
|
There are days I wait for night to come |
|
When I fall asleep just to wake again |
|
Oh to walk beside an honorable man |
|
Honey, sometimes I just do the best that I can |
|
And you show me a little bit of mercy |
|
Of mercy, of mercy |
|
More than a little bit of mercy |
|
Striving for that golden crown |
|
Will He say well done |
|
When the trumpet sounds |
|
Standing where our fathers stood |
|
We learn their ways to make them good |
|
But where is the heart in an honorable man |
|
Honey, sometimes you just do the best that you can |
|
And I show you a little bit of mercy |
|
Of mercy, of mercy |
|
More than a little bit of mercy |
|
Underneath this house of stones |
|
A whole wide world beckons us on |
|
To leave behind the walls and doors |
|
Windows, ceilings and floors |
|
Let us breathe in mountains |
|
Breathe out sun |
|
For ourselves |
|
And this race we run |
|
If you'll show me a little bit of mercy |
|
Of mercy, of mercy |
|
More than a little bit of mercy |
|
And I'll show you a little bit of mercy |
|
Of mercy, of mercy |
|
More than a little bit of mercy |
