[Verse 1] In a world where shadows fall, And darkness seems to cover all, We search for light, a hope that’s true, In the ghetto, where dreams are few.

[Verse 2] A mother weeps, a baby cries, In the streets where hope often dies. A prayer for peace, a plea so raw, We lift our hearts and cry for mercy.

[Chorus] Cry for mercy, cry for love, Heaven help us from above. In the darkness, in the pain, Let the light of peace reign.

[Verse 3] A young man’s lost, he’s gone astray, In the ghetto, he finds no way. With a heart that’s torn and eyes so cold, His story’s one that’s often told.

[Chorus] Cry for mercy, cry for love, Heaven help us from above. In the darkness, in the pain, Let the light of peace reign.

[Bridge] In a world where we can’t see, Beyond the pain and misery. We reach for something pure and true, A guiding light to pull us through.

[Verse 4] The old man sits, his hands are worn, By a life that’s full of dreams now torn. He prays for peace, he prays for grace, To see the hope in every face.

[Chorus] Cry for mercy, cry for love, Heaven help us from above. In the darkness, in the pain, Let the light of peace reign.

[Verse 5] The children laugh, they play and sing, Unaware of what tomorrow brings. In their eyes, the future lies, A world where hope will never die.

[Chorus] Cry for mercy, cry for love, Heaven help us from above. In the darkness, in the pain, Let the light of peace reign.

[Outro] So we sing this song, we raise our voice, In a world that needs to make a choice. To end the hate, to heal the scar, To find the love where we are. Cry for mercy, cry for love, Heaven help us from above.
