Mercy

I was born this morning, my name is Mercy
In the middle of the sea, between two countries
Mercy

It was a long journey and Mom took it
She had me in her skin, eight and a half months
Oh yes, eight and a half months

We left the house, it was war
Sure she was right, there was nothing to lose
Oh no, except life

I was born this morning, my name is Mercy
A hand was extended to me and I am alive
I am all those children that the sea took
I will live a hundred thousand years, my name is Mercy

If it is urgent to be born, understand also
That it is urgent to be reborn, when everything is destroyed
Mercy

And there before our eyes was the enemy
An immense blue, maybe infinite
But yes, we knew the price
Emerging from a wave, a friendly ship
Gave our survival another chance
It was there that I let out my first cry

I was born this morning, my name is Mercy
A hand was extended to me and I am alive
I am all those children that the sea took
I will live a hundred thousand years, my name is Mercy

Behind the semaphores, could it be the right port?
What will tomorrow be? Face to face or hand in hand
What will tomorrow be?

I was born this morning, my name is Mercy
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, I'm fine thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, I'm fine thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, I'm fine thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, I'm fine thank you
