Merciful Mollification

I pray for mercy and I pray for grace
To meet the confrontation we face
And reach the souls trapped beyond the wall
Although there’s cancer loaded in the gun
We can still refrain from shooting anyone
And shrewdly embrace a much higher call

Beyond these clouds, it’s all there
The antidote to every new despair
Just need to scratch and claw a way
A conduit through the gloomy day,
So we can find ourselves in a better room,
Just like on that rainy April afternoon
Reconcile the bond from years ago

I beg for mercy and I beg for tact
While ever-reeling from this sneak attack
Can no longer afford to lack in positive words
For there is ground that must be tread upon
Without wasting yet another dawn
Let’s seize the chance to let it all be heard

Beyond these clouds it exists
A conscientious world within our midst
And love alone can harmonize any dissonant tone
So let’s go find a space which we both condone
And toss away the remnants of the dastardly stone
Reconnect with songs from years ago

Beyond it all still exists, a peaceful, loving world within our midst
And love alone can harmonize any dissonant tone,
Clear away that which we cannot condone, and find a way
To a place of confluence, of decorum, joy and gracefulness,
We’ll find a way, ooh ooh, do do do do, we’ll find a way always
