Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that we're making
Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back
Imagine that we could get it together

Stand up for what we need to be
Because crying won't save or feed a hungry child
Can't lay down and wait for a miracle
To change things
So lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart

Singing
Mercy will we overcome this?
Oh, one by one could we turn it around?
Baby
Carry on just a little bit longer
And I'll try to give you what you need

Me and you and you and you
Just want to be free, yeah yeah
But you see
All the world is just as we've made it
And until we've got a new world I've got to say
That love is not a whisper or a weakness
No, love is strong
So we got to get together, yeah
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get
Till there is no reason to fight

Mercy will we overcome this?
Oh, one by one could we turn it around?
Baby
Carry on just a little bit longer
And I'll try to give you what you need

Mercy will we overcome this?
We've come too far to turn it around
But I
Ask too much to be a little bit stronger
'Cause I wanna give you what you need

Mercy what will become of us?
Oh, one by one could we turn it around?
Maybe
Carry on just a little bit longer
And I'll try to give you what you need
