thought for sunday

I belive for every drop of rain that falls

a flower grows

I belive that somewere in the darkest night

a candle glows

I belive for everyone who goes astray

someone will come

to show the way

I belive

I belive above a storm in the smallest prayer

can still be heard

I belive that someone in the great somewere

hears every word

everytime I hear a new born cry

or touch a leaf or see the sky

then I no why I BELIEVE

Words of hope, know the Batchelors made a version of this song, but can't recall who recorded the original or was it just them. The words are very poignant

correct

[katieoxo60 in reply to stone-UK]

Thanks for that one stone, did not realise that David Whitfield had released a version of I Believe. Perry Como was most likely the one I was trying to recall . Next time theres a music quiz on I will call on you for info.Sorry for the delayed response

[Ozzysmom in reply to stone-UK]

It was the theme song or class song for my girls club in school. USA. 1970. Hey, you did not know that one... Giggle... I sang a solo in the middle. Sorry... Just could not resist that one. Ozzysmom
