I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows
And I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
Yes I believe, oh I believe
I believe above the storm
The smallest prayer will still be heard
And I believe that someone
In the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
I believe
Oh, I believe
