Have Mercy
This Old Ark
[Verse 1]
Well I don't know where the time goes
But I remember what you said
And every single feeling's dead
Every word sounds more absurd
Faith and comedy could heal the hurt
Verses dug out through some Christian dirt

[Chorus]
Well am I everything you wanted?
Am I everything you never had?

[Chorus]
I thought it was strange
How they kept me in the dark
Shouting "One day young boy you'll be a man
And you'll be guiding this old ark
You've got a lonely heart."

Oh but a lonely heart

[Verse 2]
Facing me
A false belief
And I never thought the books I read
Would make me who I want to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Well am I everything you wanted?
Am I everything you never had?

[Chorus]
I thought it was strange
How they kept me in the dark
Shouting "One day young boy you'll be a man
And you'll be guiding this old ark
You've got a lonely heart."

Oh but a lonely heart

[Outro]
I never knew how much I'd miss it till it's gone
I still listen to your favorite songs
Wishing you were in my arms

I never knew how much I'd miss it till it's gone
I still listen to your favorite songs
Wishing you were in my arms

I never knew how much I'd miss it till it's gone
I still listen to your favorite songs
(shouting one day young boy you'll be a man and you'll be)
Wishing you were in my arms
(Guiding this old ark)
