It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube

Lord (1)________ mercy

I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I told her mama I'm getting married
I (2)__________ (3)________ her voice on the other side
Of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I proudly answered
She (4)________ son did you take time
To know her?
I (5)________ mama, she is the best
But today it hurts me so to go back to
Mama and say
Mama I'm getting divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The choice I made didn't work out the way
I (6)______________ it would
This choice I made
It hurts me so mama

This choice I (7)________ didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This choice of (8)________ (oh)

Mama said to me
It's not (9)________ to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again

I (10)________________ in church
When the preacher man read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful
And so innocent

I did not (11)________ that behind (12)________ beauty
Lies the true colours that (13)________ destroy me
In the (14)________ future
This choice I made didn't work out to be
What I thought it (15)__________ be
(Oh) (16)________ (17)________ choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
Now I'm hurting

I remember (18)________ I held you by the hand
Preacher man (19)________ the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe (20)________ the preacher man said
Was not (21)__________________ that was within you
Now I know what they mean when (22)________ say
Beautiful woman
Is another man's plaything
(Oh) lord, I'm hurting now
This choice I (23)________ didn't work out the way
I (24)______________ it would
This choice of mine (oh)
Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll (25)________ it
(You'll be happy again)
