Letra de Lord Have Mercy

[Verse 1]
I wish I was in a different place
I wish I didn't always need all this personal space
I wish I cared like I said I would, I wish I wanted to be good
Cause if I want something bad enough
I'll work and think and try until I feel that I've done enough
And I'll be satisfied for the time being, I wish I wanted to be good
[Chorus]
But right now I want to be noticed and I want to be seen
I wish someone would come to me and tell me what life means
I want what I want and it's not necessarily good
[Verse 2]
It's not the world that makes us worry deep inside
It's you and me-- are we living in the truth or a lie?
Do we offer peace and forgiveness, do we want to be good?
If I just listen to the words I read out loud
They teach me gently and show me how
The Father can use me and together we are good
[Chorus]
But right now I want to be noticed and I want to be seen
I wish someone would come to me and tell me what life means
I want what I want and it's not necessarily good
[Verse 3]
You're not alone in your sinful shame
Look at me I am dirty we are all the same
Lord have mercy, I just want to be good
Oh Lord have mercy, I just want to be good
[Chorus 2]
You know I try to be patient and I wanna do things right
Time is not my forte but I've got all my life
To try and try and one of these days I am gonna be good
