Mr. Gray

Verse 1: It's as bad as it has been

For over 20 years but then

I haven't been here all my life

And all the wells are going dry

All the bankers saying "bye-bye, Mr. Gray,

We're glad we met

But no money yet."

Chorus: If I show my hands

Would you watch them bleed?

Long enough to prove they are indeed in need of mercy

In need of mercy

Verse 2: Dawn always breaks the noonday high

Shade rarely offers alibi

Or decent rest for such a man. If I think, I can

Try harder some might say that I'm smarter

But only God knows

Only God knows who I am

Chorus

Bridge: I try to laugh about it

I try not to cry about it

Mamma always hates it when I cry

What will it take to convince

This is just the road to excellence

Faith before the skeptic's eye

Chorus

Outro: I need your mercy me I need your mercy, mercy me.
