I See, I See

Francis, dear Francis 
So glad you've come along 
Francis, dear Francis 
That's why I write this song 
The Vatican is a lonely place 
The good gets thrown back 
In your face 
Francis, dear Francis! 

Do not cry, Argentina 
Or get caught in a trance 
Your son of that great country 
He learned the tango dance! 
And waltzing Matilda 
Is not far away 
I stop and salute you 
As we gather to pray! 

Francis, dear Francis 
Don't shed a tear 
Your friends in Vaticano 
They are always near 
The sky is blue 
The smoke is white 
May God help you 
Make it through the night!
