I Believe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word

[Chorus]
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why
I believe (Believe, I believe)

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
