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 was sorrows to be here
And mercy, mercy in this world
So many hearts I find, hearts 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
We’ve run around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every night, and then we try
To mend the damage that we’ve done
Tonight, tonight I just can’t rest
I’ve got this joy down here in my breast
To think that I did not forget that song
That song of Bernadette
So many hearts I find, hearts 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
Come on let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
