When a cloudy morning rain touched our little town

Three small sisters and a friend walking in the fields

A strange light in the sky blotting out the sun

Whatever happens next changes all our lives



And the children ran home sobbing and half blind

Said our lady has a message for mankind

Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense

Dazzled by the virgin's radiance



And the icons in the church crying tears of blood

The water in the wells curing all who drank

Pilgrim lunatics arrive in a ragged stream



In the fields around the village sprang up tents

People from the outside world want more evidence

Four tired children questioned day and night

All they can remember is her blinding light



So the circus drifts away and the noise dies down

Life goes on as before all the people came

And the children never say what her message was



And the children ran home sobbing and half blind

Said our lady has a message for mankind

Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense

Dazzled by the virgin in her radiance



People from the outside world want more evidence
