MERCY WILSON

1st verse
MY FRIEND MERCY WILSON HAS LIVED HERE ALL HER LIFE
TEACHES DANCE ABOVE THE LEGION HALL
THE GIRLS COME AND GO UNDER MERCY’S WATCHFUL EYE
HER CANVASS IS A MIRROR ON THE WALL
THEY ONLY SEE THE SHAPE OF THEIR BODIES
MERCY WANTS TO SHAPE THEIR TIMID SOULS

Chorus:
SHE SAYS THE HARDEST PART OF GROWING
IS SOMETIMES FALLING DOWN
YOU STILL HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH
THE SECRET IS IN KNOWING
WHEN YOUR FEET HIT THE GROUND
THAT’S YOU CHANCE TO SPRING INTO THE SKY
THE ONLY WAY A BIRD CAN LEARN TO FLY
IS IF ONE DAY IT’S BRAVE ENOUGH TO TRY

2nd verse:
DIGGING THROUGH THE ATTIC I FOUND AN OLD YEARBOOK
YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE ON EVERY PAGE
THERE WAS MERCY WILSON HOW SHE MADE IT LOOK
SO EASY FLOATING HIGH AVOVE THE STAGE
WE ALL THOUGHT MERCY’S BOUND FOR BROADWAY
SOMETHING IN THAT MIRROR MAKES HER STAY

Chorus:

Instrumental bridge:
Coda:
THE SECRET IS IN KNOWING
WHEN YOUR FEET HIT THE GROUND
THAT’S YOU CHANCE TO SPRING INTO THE SKY
THE ONLY WAY A BIRD CAN LEARN TO FLY
IS IF ONE DAY IT’S BRAVE ENOUGH TO TRY
