 I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
 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
 I believe, I believe

 I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
 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 (why I believe)
