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
With the name 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
With the name Mercy
Here is where I was born
With the name Mercy
Merci, merci, I made it, merci
Merci, merci, I made it, merci
Merci, merci, I made it, merci
Merci, merci, I made it, merci
