Paroles de Mercy's Child

I was a stranger to mercy, I was lovers with lies, I was owned by the darkness, blind and hypnotised. Love had left me abandoned, Love had left me unclaimed, Loneliness was my companion 'til I called your name. Oh, my soul was an orphan, property of the dark, Now I am mercy's child, and your name is written on my heart. Tangled up in my pride, Well, sin is such a hard master, You reached out when I was hanging over the edge of disaster. Oh, my soul was an orphan, property of the dark, Now I am mercy's child, and your name is written on my heart. And all the bells in Heaven ring it, It's the name above every name, so let the orphans and angels sing it. Isolation was the only company I knew, But now I'm so emotionally attached to you. Oh, my soul was an orphan, property of the dark, Now I am mercy's child, and your name...your name is written on my heart, on my heart.
