I Believe
Dinah Washington & Brook Benton Lyrics

I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows
I believe in the miracle of nature and how something as simple as rain can bring new life and beauty into the world.

And I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe that even in the darkest, most hopeless situations, there is always a glimmer of hope or light to guide us through.

I believe for everyone who goes astray Someone will come to show the way
I believe that when we lose our path or direction in life, there will always be someone or something that can guide us back onto the right track.

Yes I believe, oh I believe
I am strong in my faith and convictions, and nothing can shake my belief in these things.

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that even when life seems the most tumultuous and chaotic, our prayers and wishes are still able to penetrate and reach the ears of a higher power.

I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
I believe in the concept of a higher power that is always listening and aware of our thoughts, feelings, and desires - even if we cannot see or hear their response.

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Every time I witness a new life entering the world and hear the first sounds of their voice, it reaffirms my faith in the power of creation and the beauty of life itself.

Or touch a leaf or see the sky
The simple act of touching nature or gazing up at the open sky reminds me of the wonders of the world around us and strengthens my belief in something greater than ourselves.

Then I know why I believe
These moments of clarity and connection with the world around me give me a deeper understanding of why I believe in the things that I do.

I believe
Overall, my faith in the world and in something greater than ourselves is unshakeable.

Oh I believe
This confidence in my beliefs and the power of the world around me fills me with a sense of peace and purpose.
