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 was sorrows to be    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, 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 night, and then we try    To mend the damage that we've done    Tonight, tonight I can not 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 want to hold, 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
