Mercy (English Version)

Here is where I was born with the name Mercy
Somewhere out in between, on the open sea
Mercy

Mama travelled so far over every tide
And for nearly nine months I was safe inside
Oh I, I was safe inside

But she couldn't ignore what she had to do
Ran away from the war, nothing left to lose
Oh no, nothing but our lives

Here is where I was born with the name Mercy
Someone held out a hand, giving life to me
For all the children lost to the cold, cold sea
I'll live ten thousand years, je m'appelle Mercy

I had to take a breath, she had to be free
To start again with nothing left, start a life with me
Mercy

But surrounded by blue, nothing else in sight
If the water won we would pay the price
Oh we, we'd pay it with our lives
Rising over a wave came another boat
A chance at survival, a sign of hope
Oh my, they sang when they heard me cry

Here is where I was born with the name Mercy
Someone held out a hand, giving life to me
For all the children lost to the cold, cold sea
I'll live ten thousand years, je m'appelle Mercy

Does it mean we're safe and sound, when we're on solid ground?
When tomorrow comes, will we all face it together?
When tomorrow comes

Here is where I was born with the name Mercy

Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
