Tender Mercy - Marley's Ghost

When I was younger, I heard the voice of reason

But I did not care much for what she had to say

I loved her stepsisters, Vice and Treason

Always happy to be traveling when you’re going astray

I was never convicted of harm with intention

But I sure did a lotta hurt along the way

Thought a pound of cure was worth the ounce of prevention

I would not listen to what my heart had to say

Never mind how you got here (that's a much bigger question)

What are you gonna do now (give up or give in)

Like a drowning man it’s so hard to surrender

Let that tender mercy save you again

Somewhere on the journey my eyes started to open

But it did not come in a flash of light

Just a gradual turning, a gentle unfolding

A voice in the darkness a hand in the night

Never mind how you got here (that's a much bigger question)

What are you gonna do now (give up or give in)

Like a drowning man it’s so hard to surrender

Let that tender mercy save you again

There’s a time for laughing and a time for crying

A time for dancing at the edge of the sea

There’s your moment of birth and your hour of dying

What are you gonna do with all that time in between?

Never mind how you got here (that's a much bigger question)

What are you gonna do now (give up or give in)

Like a drowning man it’s so hard to surrender

Let that tender mercy save you again

Never mind how you got here (that's a much bigger question)

What are you gonna do now (give up or give in)

Like a drowning man it’s so hard to surrender

Let that tender mercy save you again
