lyrics

i walked away from Mercy 
out to the deepest woods
entered by the river
 at the only place i could 
fed a fire and watched the smoke
like something climbing free
leaning like a ladder
and calling after me

that i could rise from what may shine
keep your place surrender mine 
as if your name as old as time 
waited like a song upon the tongue
of all the mercy begging to be sung

i’ve made my peace with Mercy
as quick as it may be 
to betray my confidence 
in how I choose to see
that what had come together 
now are pieces in my hand
 fraying at the knees that buckled long before we stand

so i might rise from what may shine
keep your place surrender mine 
as if your name as old as time
waited like a song upon the tongue
of all the mercy begging to be sung

the snow flies its confetti
 like the end of a parade
leaves a vacant silence
knee-deep in the charade 
that here’s the end of hunger
this feasting of the soul 
when all the while it’s waited
for the light to swallow whole...

so i might rise...
