Mercy Day

promise; something to be expected
written on the inside of me
i am waiting today
like a song so familiar
like a fire at its embers
i am burning today
mercy day; just a drop in the ocean
a never-ending emotion
i am ready today
a secret that was told to me wordless
that i cling to with everything
i am clinging today
like an old washed-out picture
like a story remembered
i can see it today
mercy day; just a drop in the ocean
a never-ending emotion
i am ready today
mercy day; the breaking out of the morning
the quenching of every longing
i am ready today
bridge:
every start is completed
every half is made whole
everything is done
like an old washed-out picture
like a story remembered
i can see it today
i can see it now, see it now
mercy day
