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 a 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
