A Great Wild Mercy Songtext
von Carrie Newcomer

It was a summer storm that broke the heat
She had a blue umbrella as she stepped into the street
I saw her look up from beneath the brim
Thought better of it and closed it up again
The rain slipped down like uncheck tears
The way that miracles arrive and then disappear
I nodded as I watched her smile and walk away
Having just seen the finest prayer ever been prayed
There′s a big wide sky filled with stars
That feels so close but feels so far
I'm tired of all the rage tired of all the worry
I′m ready for a great wild mercy
A great wild mercy
"May we all forgive" was tattooed on his arm
Like a sign from God or a hit and run
He handed me my coffee he just poured
May we all find the mercy we've been longing for
There's a big wide sky filled with stars
That feels so close but feels so far


I′m tired of all the rage tired of all the worry
I′m ready for a great wild mercy
A great wild mercy
Some of us are just born restless
Dazzled by the hard and softness of things
Sensing an ever present goodness
Still circling on wings
There is the news of the world and news of the heart
Stories we tell parcel and part
It will all unfold the teller and the told
The stories that'll heal us and the ones we let go
There′s a big wide sky filled with stars
That feels so close but feels so far
I'm tired of all the rage tired of all the worry
I′m looking for some peace trying not to hurry
I'm leaning into something absolutely sturdy
I′m ready for a great wild mercy
A great wild mercy
A great wild mercy
