Lyrics
MERCY NOW
HAVE MERCY NOW FOR THE PEOPLE IN DESPAIR
HAVE MERCY NOW FOR HUNGRY CHILDREN EVERYWHERE
WE'VE GOT TO WAKE UP.
CANT YOU SEE WHATS GOING ON?
WE'VE GOT TO OPEN OUR HEARTS
STOP PRETENDING NOTHINGS WRONG
CHORUS:
LOOK IN THE EYES OF A HELPLESS CHILD SEE THE PAIN THE'RE GOING THOURGH?
OPEN YOUR ARMS ITS ALL WORTH WHILE THERE IS SO MUCH WE CAN DO
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE ALL STAND UP AND SHOUT...LORD HEAR US SING OUT LOUD...]
HAVE MERCY NOW
VERSE2:
HAVE MERCY NOW FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS
HAVE MERCY NOW FOR THE HUNGRY AND THE WEAK
WE'VE GOT TO WAKE UP.
WE'VE TURNED OUR BACKS TOO LONG
IT'S TIME WE OPEN OUR HEARTS
IT'S UP TO US AND US ALONE
CHORUS: HAVE MERCY NOW FOR THE PEOPLE IN DESPAIR
HAVE MERCY NOW FOR HUNGRY CHILDREN EVERYWHERE
WE'VE GOT TO WAKE UP.
CANT YOU SEE WHATS GOING ON?
WE'VE GOT TO OPEN OUR HEARTS
STOP PRETENDING NOTHINGS WRONG
CHORUS:
LOOK IN THE EYES OF A HELPLESS CHILD SEE THE PAIN THE'RE GOING THOURGH?
OPEN YOUR ARMS ITS ALL WORTH WHILE THERE IS SO MUCH WE CAN DO
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE ALL STAND UP AND SHOUT...LORD HEAR US SING OUT LOUD...]
HAVE MERCY NOW
VERSE2:
HAVE MERCY NOW FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS
HAVE MERCY NOW FOR THE HUNGRY AND THE WEAK
WE'VE GOT TO WAKE UP.
WE'VE TURNED OUR BACKS TOO LONG
I'TS TIME WE OPEN OUR HEARTS
ITS UP TO US AND US ALONE
