Don't know where I'd be today
without the love you gave to me
don't know where I'd be without your love
sometimes when I get scared
I'll say a prayer to help me through
and I find the strength when times are tough

So if you've got a hard luck story
feeling like you're going down
brother don't you give it a worry
'cos I've found

Miracles can happen if we just believe
Faith can move a mountain, a shovel is all you need
we shall overcome together, isn't that the key
we'll build a bridge across the troubled sea

I remember long ago
I had travelled down a dead end road
and found myself stranded on a limb
somebody said to me
the same thing that I'm saying to you
somebody had said it once to him

Call it the wisdom of ages
or simply words to soothe our fears
passed from sons of shepherds and sages
through the years

Miracles can happen if we just believe
Faith can move a mountain, a shovel is all you need
we shall overcome together, isn't that the key
we'll build a bridge across the troubled sea
