Track 8 on the debut album by Kelly Oliver, This Land

lyrics

Her daddy worked as a miller in France,
and her mama was a miller's child.
And so it came that Bernadette was born,
and she lived a happy life.

Until tragedy fell where Bernadette was living.
She woke to find her baby brother had died.
It was the start of the sadness and shame,
and the blessings yet to come.

Industry thrived, her daddy faced a challenge from the town.
His flour couldn't buy the bread they would need.
They had to sell the mill and leave their home.
They had to face the world alone.

They had to move away. Live in a dungeon
where the prisoners used to play.
Where you wouldn't leave an animal to stay,
they had to spend their days.

The family name was shamed, they were accused of stealing.
They took her daddy away and he was soon imprisoned.
He said, 'I'm innocent, would you let me go home?'
They finally let him home.

And Bernadette was scared, and her daddy said, 'Listen,
just keep us in your prayers, the Lord above will listen.'
Bernadette prayed at night, praying one day they'd be saved.
They'd be saved. Praying one day, they'd be saved.

They walked to the stream. Bernadette and her sister
walked to the stream to bring the firewood.
They walked to the stream, when Bernadette heard a noise,
like a gush of wind.
