lyrics

VERSE
We are all just guessing what we’re doing here
How should we spend the moments through the years
We are all just breathing one breath at a time
unraveling the world that became our mind
We are all just hoping the theories were right
Whether incantations, incarnations or a white blinding light

CHORUS
Have a little mercy on each other
Cause were going to be here a long long time
Might as well surrender to a stranger no stranger than life

VERSE
Were all just acting like we think we should
And every disaster we try to mask our fears and keep going through
We are all just thinking on the problems that need solving
We work so hard to get close to accomplishing something
We are all just trying the best we can do
Its hard when the answers are seemingly fleeting ahead of you

CHORUS
Have a little mercy on each other
Cause were going to be here a long long time
Might as well surrender to a stranger no stranger than life
