Eric Bibb - Have A Heart lyrics

Artist: Eric Bibb

album: Jericho Road


A man takes all his money, saved for years
Gathers up his family, it's time to go
At the appointed hour they meet a man with a truck
With fifty other pilgrims they're driven down to the coast
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, have a heart
They sneak onboard a freighter, money changes hands
But is the ship sea worthy for the journey to the Promised Land?
After three calm days at sea a storm begins to blow
Passengers and crew pray for their souls
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, have a heart
Who rips the gold and the diamonds from the bosom of Africa?
Can you tell me who works the mines in poverty for generations?
Who stamps the papers to let a pilgrim in?
Everybody wants a good life and for their children
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, have a heart
So when you meet a pilgrim at a corner grocery store
You know he's got a story, so anyhow keep an open door
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, have a heart
Have a heart
Have a heart
