"Call Me Mercy" lyrics
Lin-Manuel Miranda & Eisa Davis Lyrics
(performed by Julia Harriman)
Chickens
Orphans scatter like chickens
Watch 'em all run away while the Warriors keep walkin'
Their heads held up high, high, high
Look at these women
Livin' just to live, out of fucks to give, women
Blowin' up the night, glowin' in the light, women
Walk away from this explosion in slow motion
I wanna go to the place where you're goin'
Let me escape in this moment
I'm born and raised on this corner of nowhere
Can I hold my head high?
High, I'll find my way where the train meets the station
I'll ride all night till the day comes
I'll leave behind desolation
Just call me mercy and take me away, hey
Hey, let me go to wherever you're going
I can be brave in the moment
I'll mix it up on the corner wherever and try
To hold my head high
High, take me away where the train meets the station
I'll ride all night till the day comes
I'll leave behind desolation
Just call me mercy and take me away
Take me away
Orphans scatter like chickens
Watch 'em all run away while the Warriors keep walkin'
Their heads held up high, high, high
Look at these women
Livin' just to live, out of fucks to give, women
Blowin' up the night, glowin' in the light, women
Walk away from this explosion in slow motion
I wanna go to the place where you're goin'
Let me escape in this moment
I'm born and raised on this corner of nowhere
Can I hold my head high?
High, I'll find my way where the train meets the station
I'll ride all night till the day comes
I'll leave behind desolation
Just call me mercy and take me away, hey
Hey, let me go to wherever you're going
I can be brave in the moment
I'll mix it up on the corner wherever and try
To hold my head high
High, take me away where the train meets the station
I'll ride all night till the day comes
I'll leave behind desolation
Just call me mercy and take me away
Take me away
