I Believe
Aaron Neville Lyrics

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
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
