about

A call to forgiveness as the doorway to peace/reconciliation

lyrics

Mercy Train

Lets go ride the Mercy Train
I can hear her whistle in my dreams
Lets go ride the mercy train
From New York City down to New Orleans
Her rusted tracks they’re winding
As she weaves on through that narrow gate
All aboard the Mercy Train
As the light begins to fade

Can I sing to raise the dead?
Yes I know that might sound strange
But I believe what Dylan said
That “the times they’re gunna change”
Oh the choir’s not yet muted
And whilst my voice still strong
I will sing to raise the dead
Cos a candle only burns for so long

Let them wheels of justice roll on
Let them wheels of justice roll on
Let them wheels of justice roll on
Let them wheels of justice roll on

Come gather round the wisdom tree
Hey people take a look and see
That crystal ball of history
ought to say something to you
and to me
She calls to those with ears that hear
Her whispers now become a shout
“All aboard the Mercy Train…
Aint it time we let forgiveness out”

Let them wheels of justice roll on
Let them wheels of justice roll on
Let them wheels of justice roll on
Let them wheels of justice roll on

All aboard the Mercy Train
All aboard the Mercy Train
All aboard the Mercy Train
