Innocence Mission (The)
Mercy
there is my kite
caught around a signpost
the sign says: "you are almost there"
so I was right - there is a heaven
very near
but there are no fires of hell
there is only mercy
some days my kite goes where I cannot see
and I feel happy for its freedom
when it's tangled in trees and wires
I know it's my own fault
all my own fault
one day my kite will escape forever
and I will jump to catch the trailing string
wishes and wants will fall from my pocket
as I wave, full of peace
