The Star of Bethnal Green

When I heard you sing,
It felt like a christening
A baptism at the back of the bar
I fell under your spell,
You sang my life so well.
As your voice quivers, with each line you deliver
I hear the orchestra as I stand in awe
I felt so close to the Lord,
I’ve tried my whole life to ignore
But Love, I’m alive
And maybe the Star of Bethnal Green
Could lead us back to Bethlehem
Lord, I have tried
And maybe the Star of Bethnal Green
Could lead us back to Bethlehem
When I heard you sing,
It was a balm for the blistering,
My eyes, all swollen and scarred
Your hands guide mine over the braille
I felt each word without fail
And Love, I’m alive
And maybe the Star of Bethnal Green
Could lead us back to Bethlehem
Lord, I have tried
And maybe the Star of Bethnal Green
Could lead us back to Bethlehem
