Lyrics

Mercy came to me
In the echoes of the night.
Mercy came to me,
In the echoes of the night.

Angels told me gently,
“Son, it ain’t your time.”
Angels told me gently,
“Turn back from the light.”

I dreamed I climbed that mountain,
And almost slipped away.
I came back down and touched the ground
But I left this world today

This land was torn asunder,
Now I can't find my way.
This land was torn asunder,
Lord, I can’t find my way.

The river keeps on callin’,
But the water runs so cold.
Yeah, the river keeps on callin’,
But she'll never take my soul

I dreamed I climbed the mountain,
And almost slipped away.
I came back down and touched the ground,
But I left this world today
