I was born this morning
My name is Mercy
In the middle of the sea
Between two countries, Mercy
It was a long way and Mom took it
She had me in the skin, eight and a half months
Oh yes, eight and a half months
We left the house, it was the war
Sure she was right, there was nothing to lose
Oh no, except life
I was born this morning
My name is Mercy
I was handed a hand
And I'm alive
I am all these children
That the sea has taken
I will live a hundred thousand years
My name is Mercy
And there in front of our eyes was the enemy
A blue immensity, maybe infinite
We knew the price
Emerging from a wave, a friendly ship
Restored our chance to our survival
It's there that I pushed my first cry
I was born this morning
My name is Mercy
I was handed a hand
And I'm alive
I am all these children
That the sea has taken
I will live a hundred thousand years
My name is Mercy
