Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine Standing here against the night But there's beauty upon our sight If it don't kill you it'll hurt you some If it don't kill you it'll hurt you some Mercy build and mercy break Yours to give and yours to take And when the world tries to call you away You say Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine And all this cathedral that you have in your eyes Is violent revealing from the ground to the sky Is it warm or is it cold Is it young or is it old And if you can't touch the naked body of her soul She will fall asleep on you The world will tell you what to do Till the hands and guns and hearts and songs They say mercy Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine Mercy I'm waiting for the sun to shine To shine.
