Mercy at Mile Marker Thirteen

The road was empty, the sky was black, I carried the weight of a thousand tracks. At a broken sign where the dust turned mean, I found mercy at mile marker thirteen.

Mercy at mile marker thirteen, Where the night was dark but the stars still leaned. I laid my sorrow where the dust had been, And I found mercy at mile marker thirteen.

I’d buried my anger, I’d buried my shame, Thought I was bound to the same old pain. But a gentle voice cut through the scene, Whispered mercy at mile marker thirteen.

Mercy at mile marker thirteen, Where the road don’t judge and the soul comes clean. I left my shadows where I used to lean, And I found mercy at mile marker thirteen.

(Wordless hum in the background, like a prayer on the wind)

Mercy at mile marker thirteen, Where the night gave back what the years had meaned. I laid my sorrow where the dust had been, And I found mercy… I found mercy… At mile marker thirteen.
