about

‘Have Mercy’ is a conversation between two people about social progress. Both tackling with the assumption that things get better with time. ‘Have Mercy’ is about the need to interrogate why we’re still fighting for the same rights we did 50 years ago.”

Have Mercy is the first single from Amahla's sophomore EP

lyrics

I’m awake while your dreaming
With your head in your hands
Parting words left repeating
Present day circumstances

Telling tales of legacy
Looking up to the moon
Without wavering you said
Change is coming soon

Don't you wait for me
It's now your time to lead

If we have
If all we have
Is deep regret for taken life

Well then,
Patience is our burden

Have mercy

You would have me believing
That I don’t understand
That a soul of a nation
Rests in all of our hands

Asking what you want from me
As we pace round the room
Without wavering I said
What is left to lose?

Don't you wait for me
It's now your time to lead

If we have
If all we have
Is deep regret for taken life

Well then,
Patience is our burden

If we have
If all we have
Is deep regret for taken lives

Well then,
Patience is our burden, Have mercy
