Mere Mortals

(Izzy Douma)

Didn’t they tell you that is no use 
Our toil is only to make them smile 
So sit down and stay my child 
Sit down and be still for awhile 

We did our best but we can’t succeed 
Unless God stoops down and hears our screams 
He’ll hear our screams 
He’ll hear our screams 

(Break) 

Didn’t you see their shifting eyes? 
Their words of hope kept us alive 
But now we lay amidst the lies 
So sit down and be still for awhile

We did our best but we can’t succeed 
Unless God stoops down and hears our screams 
He’ll hear our screams 
He’ll hear our screams 

Mere mortals wallow in the dirt 
We wait for the moment to rise up 
Rise up 
Hoping to see a better day 
Rise up, rise up 
Mere mortals can only keep so much away 

Mere mortals wallow in the dirt 
We wait for the moment to rise up 
Rise up 
Hoping to see a better day 
Rise up, rise up 
Mere mortals can only keep so much away 

He’ll hear our screams 
He’ll hear our screams 

Did you hear them tell us to be safe?
Was that a threat to keep us here?

The verses and the bridge of this song are meant to be rap, while the choruses and tag are meant to be a part of a melody. The song gives a dark, dreamy attitude and abbreviates the longing for a deep connection with the outside world. Enjoy!
