by Madame Monsieur
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
(it) does not mean
we are safe and sound
when we are around
when we are around solid crowds
when tomorrow comes
when tomorrow comes
Here is where I was born
with the name Mercy
( x repeated)
I made it MercY
Je m’appelle Mercy
Merci, merci, merci, merci
Merci, merci, I made it, merci
I made it MercY
Je vais bien merci
Merci, merci, merci, merci
