Mercy’s Shore

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My arms are tired and weary These wounds are on full display I've tried every door in the hallway There's just nowhere that I feel safe [Chorus] I see the light but never find the surface I don't know if I can swim no more White knuckles and wild horses One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Verse 2] I'm lost in the waves that crush me They bring discovery where darkness hides Just over the ridge in front of you Another mountain that we'll have to climb [Chorus] I see the light but never find the surface I don't know if I can swim no more White knuckles and wild horses One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh woah Woah, woah [Bridge] We're a child in the car asleep In the driveway at night Our mother's gonna slowly sneak Our body inside We can rest in the arms of trust There's no way we can say We've earned our way into the light All we have to do is stay [Chorus] I see the light but never find the surface I don't know if I can swim no more White knuckles and wild horses One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh woah Woah, woah Oh, oh woah Woah, woah [Outro] I've been battling a broken heart Everybody knows I'm torn apart Since I was eight years old when I thought That God was a girl in my school If we can wind up on a sandy beach Breathing air that only death can reach And singing songs that only Heaven leaves It's okay with me And God is wanting us to make-believe But knowing something is only a dream Like the absolutes and the in-betweens Are out of line, sometimes intertwined Behind a mind in lines and fights That only fools are still trying to fight
