Je suis née ce matin Je m’appelle Mercy Au milieu de la mer Entre deux pays, Mercy C’était un long chemin et Maman l’a pris Elle m’avait dans la peau, huit mois et demi, oh oui Huit mois et demi On a quitté la maison, c’était la guerre Sûr qu’elle avait raison, y’avait rien à perdre, oh non Excepté la vie Je suis née ce matin, je m’appelle Mercy On m’a tendu la main et je suis en vie Je suis tous ces enfants que la mer a pris Je vivrai cent mille ans, je m’appelle Mercy Si il est urgent de naître Comprenez aussi Qu'il est urgent de renaître Quand tout est détruit Mercy Et là devant nos yeux y’avait l ennemi Une immensité bleue peut-être infinie, mais oui On en connaissait le prix Surgissant d’une vague, un navire ami A redonné sa chance à notre survie, c’est là Que j’ai poussé mon premier cri Je suis née ce matin, je m’appelle Mercy On m’a tendu la main et je suis en vie Je suis tous ces enfants que la mer a pris Je vivrai cent mille ans, je m’appelle Mercy Derrière les sémaphores Serait-ce le bon port, que sera demain? Face-à-face ou main dans la main Que sera demain? Je suis née ce matin, je m’appelle Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Je vais bien, merci Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Je vais bien, merci Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Je vais bien, merci Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Mercy Je vais bien, merci
