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 beleived what she had seen.

No one beleived what she heard,

that 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 wanna 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 can't rest.

I've got this joy here, here inside my breast.

To think that I did not forget

that child, that song of Bernadette.



So many hearts I find,

hearts like yours and mine,

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

Well, I just wanna hold you.

Come on, let me hold you

like Bernadette would do.



I just wanna hold you.

Won't you let me hold you

like Bernadette would do?
