It was a long road and Mom took it
She carried me inside her, eight and a half months
yeah, eight and a half months
We left home, there was war
Sure she was right, there was nothing to lose
A hand reached out to me and I'm alive
I'm all those kids the sea took
I'll live a hundred thousand years, my name's Mercy
And there before our eyes was the enemy
A blue immensity maybe infinite
But yeah, we knew the price
Rising from a wave, a friendly boat
Gave our survival another chance
That's where I let out my first cry
A hand reached out to me and I'm alive
I'm all those kids the sea took
I'll live a hundred thousand years
