lyrics

remember your mercies O Lord
we've got so much hurt
remember we've fallen so hard
from our concrete towers to earth
remember we sleep every night
with doors locked and shades pulled down tight
remember your mercies O Lord
we're already so terrified

we just stay in one place
we just cover our faces
we just look at our hands
we just don't know what time it is

remember your mercies O Lord
just could you please be kind
we're grateful for so many things
but you also gave us these minds
like you gave us the sky and the trees
and we couldn't keep them from harm
remember your mercies O Lord
we've wired our hearts with alarm

we just sit in these chairs now
we just stare at these screens now
we just work all the time now
so we just don't know what day it is

we're tired and hungry for dreams now
we've traded all love for relief
our casualties rise like black rivers
from deserts and flood city streets
remember your mercies O Lord
and please don't deny us our song
we're rambling and restless and weary
we've been in this war for too long

we're black and we're blue and we're broke down
we've been in this war for too long
