    Lyrics:
    Well Jesus was an only son
    As he walked up Calvary Hill
    His mother Mary walking beside him
    In the path where his blood spilled
    Jesus was an only son
    In the hills of Nazareth
    As he lay reading the Psalms of David
    At his mother's feet
    A mother prays, "Sleep tight, my child, sleep well
    For I'll be at your side
    That no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell,
    Shall pierce your dreams this night."
    In the garden at Gethsemane
    He prayed for the life he'd never live,
    He beseeched his Heavenly Father to remove
    The cup of death from his lips
    Now there's a loss that can never be replaced,
    A destination that can never be reached,
    A light you'll never find in another's face,
    A sea whose distance cannot be breached
    Well Jesus kissed his mother's hands
    Whispered, "Mother, still your tears,
    For remember the soul of the universe
    Willed a world and it appeared."

    His mother died this week may God be with him. Beautiful song.

    "For remember the soul of the universe
    Willed a world and it appeared"
    Even as Christ experienced true humanity: the fear of death, mourning having to say goodbye to his Mother, willingly facing suffering, this line reminds us that Jesus was still Lord. Fully human as he experienced those real emotions and pain and fully God as he reminds us who made the stars and the skies. Just an insanely beautiful song for the Boss, capturing an insanely beautiful truth.

    This was the last song we played at my mothers funeral two weeks ago. A few days after her passing, I read Bruces mother also had passed, the day after mine. It's a wonderful powerful song that means the world to me. Thank you, Bruce, for writing it.

      You may not see this, and I respect your beliefs. But there is so much wrong with Catholicism. Not trying to offend you. But Jesus did not teach Catholicism, he taught a relationship between God and his people

      Catholic is the one and only Church that offers heaven,.provided you are baptized, take the Catholic entrance course ( RCIA course) get confirmed by the traditional Latin mass only, Bishop, preferably by the sspx resistance Bishop Richard Williamson who lives in Kent England, must be Resistance sspx ,no others, all others are not truly Catholic, Bishop Richard Williamson resistance is a true.

      I love the sentiment of your post, but John was not the brother of Jesus. There were four; James, Joseph(Joses), Simon, and Jude, according to Scripture. John only became the "son" of Mary on the death of Christ.

      Bruce explains in other places that the title is more metaphor - he acknowledges that Jesus had brothers but on this day to his mother, he was singular .. as a parent, that sentiment is understood.

    This was what I had hoped Springsteen on Broadway would be like - even though that show was truly epic! Realized it did have to be scripted for a 5 day a week run- but VH1 show was a truer version of the man he is. Amazing , brilliant, personable and a legendary storyteller!

    Good works in mysterious ways and is still making miracles. Many think because he’s not raising people from the dead that we have documentation of he has stopped. However my friends. Who would have ever thought that a sinner would be at a Bruce concert and he or she would hear this song and be saved and dedicate their lives to Jesus. Then pass on the abortion One will never know but I do thing he’s in a better place bf we go to lunch.

    Jesus was an only child but his brothers and sisters had greater bond with him even if they were not blood related. As an only child with some friends whom I basically consider brothers he is the only one to idolize 😁
