Mrgray Lyrics - Letting Go - Jennifer Knapp

Verse 1: It's as bad as it has been 

For over 20 years but then 

I haven't been here all my life 

And all the wells are going dry 

All the bankers saying "bye-bye, Mr. Gray, 

We're glad we met 

But no money yet." 

Chorus: If I show my hands 

Would you watch them bleed? 

Long enough to prove they are indeed in need of mercy 

In need of mercy 

Verse 2: Dawn always breaks the noonday high 

Shade rarely offers alibi 

Or decent rest for such a man. If I think, I can 

Try harder some might say that I'm smarter 

But only God knows 

Only God knows who I am 

Chorus 

Bridge: I try to laugh about it 

I try not to cry about it 

Mamma always hates it when I cry 

What will it take to convince 

This is just the road to excellence 

Faith before the skeptic's eye 

Chorus 

Outro: I need your mercy me I need your mercy, mercy me.
