Lord Have Mercy ft. Breana Marin Lyrics

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

(Lord have mercy)

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

Dear Lord, I don't know if you're listening

I hope you can listen in

I climbed up high to reach you, feel like I can kiss the wind

This might seem dissonant, but see, my life is in a spin

And I'm thinking of giving in

Plus, as you know, I've never been too good at fitting in

Every day you witness sin, and I'm far from innocent

But my life feels like a pot that you're constantly pissin' in

And I'm 'bout ready to explode like some Nitroglycerin

My A/C's broken, I'm getting heated but need to vent

Recent events evoke unpleasant feelings, deep intent

It seems that coping's a mechanism that redirects

Should deem respect

Instead arrive broken and leave in debt

Wish I could remember what feeling hopeful even meant

Memory's jaded, seeking happiness, a bleak attempt

I need your guidance 'cause being silent's a secret kept

I've tried to fight it, but lost faith, God, let's reconnect

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

(Lord have mercy)

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

Dear Lord, I could really use your guidance

'Cause it's hard to be the hero when you've never had no sidekicks

To navigate through darkness in search of a light switch

And find our way back onto the path of the righteous

Was I made in your vision

If so, why am I like this

Horse shit from scientists, force fed and digested

Thoughts are all distorted and imported from crisis

It's more or less important I fight this with an iron fist

Can't do it alone

At least not in this state of mind

Thinking it's time to let my soul just dissipate

This burden that I'm carrying

Wish you could lift the weight

Slim odds and dead ends

Doesn't profit just to play

And when I try to conversate

Get lost and drift away

In this constant disarray

Feel haunted just to pray

I want to shift the pain for some flaunted kiss of fate

But I should probably hit the hay and reach out on a different day

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

(Lord have mercy)

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

Dear Lord, I'm just hoping you will see

That I'm done with the foolishness and reacting foolishly

I'm not who I used to be

I was livid, acting so brutally

Now it's crucial that I repent before they write my eulogy

You tried to get through to me

Now I'm late like it's truancy

And I'm sharing it musically

And I paint it so beautifully

I just need an opportunity, I hope you agree

Faith is renewed and I'll gladly pay my renewing fee

Give me a sign 'cause lately to you I've gravitated

Let's work with patience 'til all my problems eradicated

Mentally I should be re-calibrated

'Cause I'm still waiting to hear from you

And I hate that I'm getting agitated

I contemplated in isolation and now I made it

To a conclusion what my mind and spirit have debated

This is my test you created until I've graduated

So I accept the challenge and yes, I appreciate it

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

(Lord have mercy)

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins

(Lord have mercy)

Waiting for an answer

Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins
