I thought I could do it, bend the rules and not fold
So I traded all I owned for a piece of fool's gold
I know You're waiting for me to see the gallows disguise
Sweet forgiveness, come near me by morning
Near me by morning
Mercy's new day, rise up and shine
I know that You know it, but like Eve, I hide
'Cause I've craved the forbidden fruit that was poisoned inside
I know You're waiting for me to leave the shadows behind
Sweet forgiveness, come near me by morning
Near me by morning
Mercy's new day, rise up and shine
Sweet forgiveness, come near me by morning
Near me by morning
Mercy's new day, rise up and shine
Just because yesterday looks a lot like today, keep on trying
(A lot like today, a lot like today)
If you think tomorrow's gonna look like today, don't believe it
(Don't you believe it)
Just because yesterday looks a lot like today, keep on trying
(A lot like today, a lot like today)
Oh, if you think tomorrow's gonna look like today, don't believe it
I know You're waiting for me to leave the shadows behind
I know You're waiting for me to leave the shadows
I'm gonna leave it all behind
Sweet forgiveness, come near me by morning
Near me by morning
Mercy's new day, rise up and shine
