	Have Mercy
	(by Terry Hollahan)

	Out in the garden underneath forbidden trees We close our eyes and ears and do just what we please And in the morning you’ll find us back again Down by the riverside to wash away our sins Have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on our souls Have mercy, have mercy We forget what we’re told Out where the fields are green and the streets are paved with gold They tell us it’s okay to grab all you can hold And when we lose our grip you’ll find us on our way Down to the riverside to throw it all away Have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on us all Have mercy, have mercy Our backs are to the wall Out of the darkness we walk with heads held high And put our blinders on to shield us from the sky In our confusion we wander now and then Down to the riverside to throw each other in Have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on our souls Have mercy, have mercy We forget what we’re told Have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on us all Have mercy, have mercy Our backs are to the wall
