[B]
He was a tall man, raised [E] up from the fields of [B] pickin' cotton
In a hard land, where the [F#] ground was poor and the [B] wood was rotten
But when he saw her, all [E] those bad times [B] were forgotten
And he believed, [F#]
[B] he believed
She was a strong hand, a [E] good sister [B] and a daughter
Lookin' for one man, to [F#] love the way that her [B] mama taught her
And when she saw him, she [E] thanked God for [B] what he'd brought her
She believed, [F#] she [B] believed
[E]
[B] It's a miracle, [E] how one soul [B] finds another
Just one miracle, is [F#] all it took
[B] My brother, for I have seen them
As they [E] walk this [B] world together, and I believe, [F#] I [B] believe
[F#] Oh
[B]
[F#]
[B]
it's a sad thing, [E] when one must leave [B] the other
Fly up where the voice rings, out with [F#] all the multitudes
That gather but [B] for a short while
Down [E] here no song can [B] sound as sweet as we leave, [F#] leave, [B] leave, leave
Oh it's a miracle, [E] how one soul [B] finds another
Just one miracle, [F#] is all it took
My brother, [B]
I'll see them
Someday [E] they'll walk again [B] together
I believe, [F#] I [B] believe
This I believe, [F#] I [B] believe
