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've done and can't undo

I just want to hold you

come on 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 cannot rest

I've got this joy

here inside 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 let me hold you

Like Bernadette would do

I just want to hold you

Come on let me hold you
