In her poignant composition, Eryn Allen Kane explores the duality of personal gratitude and collective suffering. The recurrent reflection on blessings ("When I count all my blessings") underscores a personal sense of gratitude, contrasting deeply with the pervasive sorrow for global adversities ("My heart still hurts for the world that I know"). The vivid imagery of submersion ("Sinking down under the water") symbolizes a descent into despair, while repeated petitions for divine compassion ("Have mercy") evoke a universal plea for empathy and guidance. The juxtaposition of individual contentment against a backdrop of communal grief suggests a cognitive dissonance experienced by many in contemporary society. Kane encapsulates the struggle of maintaining personal solace amidst widespread turmoil, prompting a deeper examination of our responsibilities towards each other in times of distress.
Have Mercy
Lyrics
When I count all my blessings, blessings
I can't even be sad any more, can't even be sad any more
When I count all my blessings, blessings
My heart still hurts for the world that I know, the world that I know
Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting out into the water, missing down under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense of direction, praying for love and protection
Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting out into the water, missing down under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense of direction, praying for love and protection
When I count all my blessings, blessings
I can't even be sad any more, can't even be sad any more
When I count all my blessings, blessings
My heart still hurts for the world that I know, the world that I know
Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting out into the water, missing down under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense of direction, praying for love and protection
Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting out into the water, missing down under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense of direction, praying for love and protection
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Have mercy on us all)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Have mercy on us)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Have mercy on us all, us all)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (us all)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (If I call on a blessing, Lord)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Will you remember me?)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (If I call on a blessing, Lord)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Will you remember me?)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (If I call on a blessing, Lord)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Will you remember me?)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (If I call on a blessing, Lord)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Will you remember me?)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (If I call on a blessing, Lord)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Will you remember me?)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (If I call on a blessing, Lord)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy (Will you remember me?)
