Doorstep of Mercy

There's a moment that comes When the begging is done And you drop to your knees with a sigh And you don't know what was going through your head You can't figure out why you did what you did And you cry On the doorstep of mercy This isn't the life he was running toward Spent one more mistake than he could afford But he met a girl before he got put away She sends him letters, those are the good days If he could go back to that night on the street Just never show up, just none of them meet If all that desperation weren't running through his veins There'd be two lives returned, he'd stand out in the rain And just let it fall There's a moment that comes When the damage is done And you drop to your knees with a sigh And you don't know what was going through your head You can't figure out why you did what you did And you cry On the doorstep of mercy She was a vision, floated into his office His heart was a lost cause, but his hands could have stopped it His wife took the kids, the board took the church He can't decide which loss is the worst And that's the part that hurts There's a moment that comes When the begging is done And you drop to your knees with a sigh And you don't know what was going through your head You can't figure out why you did what you did And you cry On the doorstep of mercy Mercy Mercy And you don't know what was going through your head You can't figure out why you did what you did And you cry On the doorstep of mercy
