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
