Mercy's Tree Lyrics - Set Me Free - Jennifer Knapp

white as a sheet you 

can bleed til you dry 

should we take and never ask why? 

huddled in masses 

we sit on out asses 

and hold on to what we should let fly. 

what good is the giving 

of life for a lie? 

you say it's trouble enough to fight, 

but I won't lay down and die 

you can bury what's left 

of me under mercy's tree 

we trade truth for the banner; 

a slogan or two 

underneath it we all look insane. 

it's a broken umbrella 

in a gathering storm 

soon enough we will all wash away 

and i will not be waiting 

for the seasons to change 

you say it's trouble enough to fight, 

but i won't lay down and die 

you can bury what's left 

of me under mercy's tree 

we hold our breath when 

the winter comes 

act as faith makes the 

springtime bring sun 

o, what have we done? 

you say it's trouble enough to fight, 

but i won't lay down and die 

you can bury what's left of me 

under mercy's tree
