lyrics

Standing on the corner, two homeless daughters
Young eyes that have seen too many things
Shivering there with broken wings,
even now the memory stings

The rain was cold, cut to the bone, the kind you feel when you’re all alone
But the pain that hit even harder
Was the look on the face of our father,
driving up in his car and choosing not to bother

We can make the angels sing, and we can make them cry
With all the trouble that living brings, can’t help but wonder why
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy for heaven’s sake
Oh Mercy, please heal this human ache

I got out, but my sister’s in deep,
lost her mind living on the street
Caught in the undertow of mistreating
While I built a fortress of succeeding, lost track of her tender heart beating

If she’s mad, how is it, that I’m the one acting crazy,
like that night I dropped her last Christmas eve
As the snow fell she turned the key,
to the storage locker where she’d sleep,
and I pretended not to see

We can make the angels sing, and we can make them cry
With all the trouble that living brings, can’t help but wonder why
Mercy, mercy, mercy for heaven’s sake
Oh mercy, please heal this human ache

My sister passed away this year,
wiser now, the choice was clear
We brought her home before she departed
Going back to where we started, with a prayer for the open hearted

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy for heaven’s sake
Oh Mercy, please heal this human ache

Mercy, mercy for how we break,
Oh Mercy, please heal this human ache
