My Heart Is Bethlehem

My heart is Bethlehem I can hear a baby's footsteps A soft touch Who are you little heart? I am Bethlehem, my Lord You are very sweet Bethlehem Why my Lord? I have found here my mother Mary I have found here my father Joseph I have found here my Bethlehem Yes my Lord Yes my little heart Your feet are bare my Lord And there are hard rocks I love hard rocks little heart Harder the better hardest the best It bleeds my Lord It will bleed Bethlehem For river flows in her best waters For sky opens out her best wings For Angels sing their best carols Yes my Lord Be on the watch Bethlehem I am going to my parents First bird sings.
