[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
