Miséricorde

Who am I that you will listen
Who am I that you will bless
How can I dare
Ay, that you will care
of the troubled seas
That I have brought upon me

Ungrateful weak and fragile
Powerless and vain
How can I ever remain
In life alive
with stain

Do not leave me to darkness
Don't leave me alone
Weak, a coward
That can't let go

For too long in darkness
Have I done all
I come to see the light
Only after I fall

Who am I?  Ungrateful sun
Unworthy father, speck of dust
Will you still bless the others
Innocence and ignorance, she crawls
Protect, give oil, make free
From the darkness that consumes all
