The Wallflowers - Have Mercy On Him Now lyrics

Have some faith, pa** it down Let him know the way back is easily found When he's ready he'll come around Shine a light, show him how He needs it more than ever right about now At least one foot on the ground There's no way of knowing how much one heart can hold Or how long it'll last in the wilderness out on its own Stop letting him down Have mercy on him now It's not that easy, it's bittersweet Having to watch him out there finding his feet Seeing him cut his own teeth Keep it simple keep it straight All the pitches right up and over the plate And even give him a break Shadow people all eyes are all smoke Changing their bodies out like they were coats Don't know why but you won't Have mercy on him now You're not giving that much hope Hardly even a little bit of rope In doing it just when it matters the most Even a dog knows a stumble from a kick His own reflection in the water he drinks He's not fooled if that's what you think Anyway anyhow, have mercy on him now Show some mercy Show some mercy now Have mercy on him now
