Lyrics:

I can't give up I heard him say, the day he left
Fadin' footsteps on hot cement
I don't know where he went, but he left in a hurry
Sayin' somehing about a mission of mercy

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all
As she lies stretched out in the hall
Waiting for him to call

Now the mercy of his missioon still isn't quite clear
A different angle than what it would appear
I don't know where he went, but he left in a hurry
He sayin' something about a mission of mercy

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all
As she lies stretched out in the hall
Waiting for him to . . .

Call us please someday
At least you could explain
Call us please someday
I never knew mercy could feel this way

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all
As she lies stretched out in the hall
Doesn't seem like my mama at all
She's waiting for him to . . .

Call us please someday
At least you could explain
Call us please someday
I never knew mercy could feel this way

I never knew mercy could feel this way
