The Innocence Mission - Mercy Lyrics

The Innocence Mission Lyrics

"Mercy"

There is my kite caught around a signpost
The sign says, 'You are almost there'
So I was right, there is a Heaven
Very near, very near

There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy

Some days my kite goes where I cannot see
And I feel happy for its freedom
When it's tangled in trees and wires
I know it's my own fault, all my fault

There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy

One day my kite will escape forever
And I will jump to catch the trailing string
Wishes and wants will fall from my pocket
As I wave, full of peace

There are no fires
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy

There are no fires
There are no fires
There is only mercy
There is only mercy
Mercy, mercy

There are no fires
There is only mercy
