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   Broken like yours and mine   Torn by what we've done and can't undo   I just want to hold you   Won't you let me hold you?   Like Bernadette would do      We've been around we fall, we fly   We mostly fall, we mostly run   And every no and then, we try   To mend the damage that we've done      Tonight, tonight I cannot rest   I've got this joy inside breast   To think that I did not forget   That child, that song of Bernadette      So many hearts I find   Broken 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   Won't you let me hold you?   Like Bernadette would do
