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 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 Love, I'm alive And maybe the Star of Bethnal Green Could lead us back to Bethlehem And Lord, I have tried And maybe the Star of Bethnal Green Could lead us back to Bethlehe
