Peace Pt. 2

I’m flipping through the channels for solutions
But everywhere I turn I see confusion
No matter what I choose it feels like losing
We’re never gonna right these wrongs
By getting retribution

If justice is when we get what we deserve
We’d better hope that we’re not served first

Mercy is the only peace on earth
Mercy is the only peace on earth
Mercy runs much deeper than our hurt
Mercy is when love has given birth

We’ll cheer when others get what they have coming
But fear will keep our guilty conscience running
In the pursuit of equity the heart of man will stop at nothing
But we’ll never get to love when fair is where we’re stumbling
When fair’s where we’re stumbling

If justice is when we get what we deserve
We’d better hope that we’re not served first

Mercy is the only peace on earth
Mercy is the only peace on earth
Mercy runs much deeper than our hurt
Mercy is when love has given birth

We’re all for forgiveness when they talk about our sins
But we’ll sing a different tune when it’s someone else’s skin
We’ll play by the rules if it means that we can win

Mercy is the only peace on earth
Mercy is the only peace on earth
Mercy runs much deeper than our hurt
Mercy is when love has given birth
