Leaves aflame
With sun light fire
Seen through
The stained glass
Reminds me of
The night sky
Falling
With shooting stars
Falling, falling
All is falling
It is time for the earth
To renew itself again
Aided by time and gravity
Keeping it all here
The death and the dying
The brokenness and the shame
They aren’t going with us
When we fly

The world is on fire again
(Mercy for those near the flames)
The earth erupts and heaves its crust
(Mercy for those near the faults)
The oppressed revolt
Powers struggle
Who will be on top?
Who will be on the bottom?
Who will gain?
Who will lose?
(Mercy for those caught in the struggle)
The surface of the earth changes
Mountains fall into the sea
The seas rise with the melting ice caps
(Mercy for us all)
History moves on
One thing remains
Mercy is constant
