|
He was a tall man |
|
Raised up from the fields out pickin' cotton |
|
In a hard land |
|
Where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten |
|
But when he saw her |
|
All those bad times were forgotten |
|
And he believed, he believed |
|
She was the strong hand |
|
A good sister and a daughter |
|
Lookin' for one man |
|
To love the way that her mama'd taught her |
|
And when she saw him |
|
She thanked God for what he'd brought her |
|
She believed, she believed |
|
And it's a miracle |
|
How one soul finds another |
|
Just one miracle |
|
Is all it took, my brother |
|
For I have seen them |
|
As they walk this world together |
|
And I believe, I believe |
|
It's a sad thing |
|
When one must leave the other |
|
And fly up where the voice rings |
|
Out with all the multitudes that gather |
|
But for a short while |
|
Down here, no song ever sounded sweeter |
|
And we believed, we believed |
|
For it's a miracle |
|
How one soul finds another |
|
Just one miracle |
|
Is all it took, my brother |
|
And I will see them |
|
Someday, they'll walk again together |
|
I believe, I believe |
|
This I believe, I believe |
