Lord, bless the least of us
Overlook the beast in us
So many struggles you've bestowed
God, save the lack in us
Overlook the black in us
And watch as our sacred dreams explode
And grant us mercy
Grant us mercy
Grant us mercy on the desolate road
Lord, fill the need in us
Overlook the greed in us
Give us twenty times more than we are owed
Heal the divide in us
Overlook the pride in us
Unburden us from all the fear we've sowed
And grant us mercy
Grant us mercy
Grant us mercy on the desolate road
There's a cloud bank up ahead
Above the hills of coral red
Tell me there's a rain about to fall
To quench the thirst of one and all
Heal the divide in us
Overlook the pride in us
Release us from all the hatred we've sowed
Warm the chill in us
Invigorate the will in us
Our patience and our good sense stay rode
And grant us mercy
Grant us mercy
Grant us mercy on the desolate road
There's a cloud bank up ahead
Above the hills of coral red
Tell me there's a rain about to fall
To quench the thirst of one and all
Forgive our sinful ways
Forget our wasted days
Overlook each time our ego is showed
And grant us mercy
Grant us mercy
Grant us mercy on the desolate road
