Lyrics:

[Words and Music by Ervin Drake, Jimmy Shirl, Al Stillman and Irvin Graham]

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 that 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)
