[Verse]
Em G Am C
Here is where I was born, with the name Mercy
Em G Am C
Somewhere out in between, on the open sea, Mercy
Em
Mama travelled so far over every tide
G
And for nearly nine months I was safe inside
Am C
Oh I, I was safe inside
Em G
But she couldn’t ignore what she had to do ran away from the war
Nothing left to lose
Am C
Oh no, nothing but our lives
[Chorus]
Em G Am C
Here is where I was born, with the name Mercy
Em G Am C
Someone held out a hand, giving life to me
Em G Am C
For all the children lost, to the cold, cold sea
Em G Am C
I’ll live ten thousand years, je m’appelle Mercy
[Verse]
Em G Am C
I had to take a breath, she had to be free
Em G Am C
To start again with nothing left, start a life with me, Mercy
Em
But surrounded by blue, nothing else in sight
G
If the water won, we would pay the price
Am C
Oh we, we’d pay it with our lives
Em
Rising over a wave came another boat
G
A chance at survival, a sign of hope
Am C
Oh my, they sang when they heard me cry
[Chorus]
Em G Am C
Here is where I was born, with the name Mercy
Em G Am C
Someone held out a hand, giving life to me
Em G Am C
For all the children lost, to the cold, cold sea
Em G Am C
I’ll live ten thousand years, je m’appelle Mercy
[Bridge]
Em D C
Does it mean we're safe and sound, when we're on solid ground?
G Am Em B C
When tomorrow comes, will we all face it together?
Am
When tomorrow comes
Em G Am C
Here is where I was born with the name Mercy
[Outro]
Em G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Em G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Em G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
Em G
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy
Am C
Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
