Lyrics

I believe for ev’ry drop of rain that falls, a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows
I believe for evryone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest pray’r will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears ev’ry word
Ev’ry time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
