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, broke like yours and mine
|
Torn by what we have 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 now and then we try
|
To mend the damage that we've done
|
Tonight, tonight I just can't rest
|
I've got this joy in my breast
|
To Think that I did not forget that child
|
That song of Bernadette
|
|
So many hearts I find, broke 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
|
