song of bernadette

there was a child named bernadette

i heard the story

long ago

she saw the queen of heaven once

and kept the vision in her soul

no one believed what she had seen

no one believed what she heard

but there were sorrows to be healed

and mercy

mercy in this world

so many hearts i find

broken like yours and mine

torn by what we've done and can't undo

i just want to hold you

won't you let me hold you?

like bernadette would do

we've been around we fall

we fly

we mostly fall

we mostly run

and every no and then

we try

to mend the damage that we've done

tonight

tonight i cannot rest

i've got this joy inside breast

to think that i did not forget

that child

that song of bernadette

so many hearts i find

broken like yours and mine

torn by what we've done and can't undo

i just want to hold you

come on let me hold you?

like bernadette would do

i just want to hold you

won't you let me hold you?

like bernadette would do
