Beyonce - Amen Lyrics

Mercy on me, baby

Have mercy on me

Mercy, mercy

Hurtin' badly, I can see you're hurtin' badly

Hurtin', hurtin', hey

Mercy on me, baby

Have mercy on me

(Mercy, mercy) mercy

I see you hurtin', see you, please, have mercy on me, ohh

(Mercy, mercy) ooh-ooh



This house was built with blood and bone

And it crumbled, yes, it crumbled

The statues they made were beautiful

But, they were lies of stone, they were lies of stone

Trumpets blair, the silence out

I need to make you proud

Tell me, can you hear me now?



Mercy on me, mercy

Have mercy on me

(Mercy, yeah, mercy, yeah)

I can see you hurtin', see you hurtin' badly

(Mercy, mercy) I can see you hurtin', see you hurtin' badly)



Say a prayer for what has been

We'll be the ones that purify our father's sins

American Requiem

Them old ideas (yeah)

Are buried here (yeah)

Amen (amen)
