Manoling Francisco, SJ
Album & Scorebook: The Best of Bukas Palad (vol. 2)


1. If I could touch You, I'd heal Your broken palms.
If I could hold You in my arms.
I'd call the soft breeze to caress Your weary arms.
I'd call the moonbeam to dispel this darkest night.
If I could touch You, I would.

2. If I could hear You, Your words of anguish,
If You'd just whisper in my ear.
The sadness weighing down Your heart that no man sees.
If You just call me I would sing of flaming hope.
If I could hear You, I would.

3. Long have I waited for you to hear My cry.
Long have I waited for you to answer My plea.
What you do to your brethren, you do it for Me.
I am in the brokenness and woundedness of man.

(Repeat v.3, then v. 1, then v.4)

Counterpoint: Yes, you can (touch/hear) Me
I'm in the least of your brethren, I'm in the weak and small.
I need your hands to bear my weary arms.
I need your touch to heal my wounded palms.

4. If I could hear You, Your words of anguish,
If You'd just whisper in my ear.
The sadness weighing down Your heart that no man sees.
If You just call me I would sing of flaming hope.
If I could hear You, if I could touch You, I would.
