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 here

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 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 wanna hold you, won't let me hold you

Like Bernadette would do

I just wanna hold you, come on let me hold you

Like Bernadette would do
