(Emmylou Harris)

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 l have seen them

As they walk this world together

And i believe, l 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 l will see them

Someday they'll walk again together

l believe, l believe

This l believe, l believe
