Miracle Song
[MRS. SCHROEDER]
It's a sign! It's a sign!
[CORA]
And it's mine!
[MRS. SCHROEDER]
It's a shrine! It's a shrine!
[CORA]
And it's mine!
It's a gold mine!
And it's all mine!
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
It's a sign!
It's a sign!
It's divine!
It's divine!
It's a shrine!
Divine, a sign!
A shrine, a shrine!
[CORA]
And it's holier than thine!
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
There's water in a lake
Water in a river
Water in the deep blue sea
But water in a rock—Lord, that's a miracle!
[CORA]
Who's got the miracle?
[CORA & COOLEY]
We!
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
There's water that you part
Water that you walk on
Water that you turn to wine!
But water from a rock—Lord, what a miracle!
This is a miracle that's divine
Truly divine
[CORA]
Really divine!
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
The Lord said, "Let there be water"
The Lord said, "Turn on the font!"
[COOLEY]
Lord said, "Let there be pilgrims"
[CORA]
"And let them all think whatever they want"
[TOWNSPEOPLE]
Blessed be the child
Blessed be the tourist
Blessed is its own reward
[COOLEY]
Water is a boon
We'll soon
Be in clover!
[CORA]
Better issue stock
My rock
Runneth over!
[ALL]
Glory Hallelu
You finally came through
And thank you, Lord!
Our faith is restored!
Thank you, Lord!
[CORA]
Come, all ye pilgrims!

See ye the wondrous sight!
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]

[CORA]
Take ye the bus tonight
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
There's a miracle that's happening
In this town!
If you want to see a miracle, then hurry on down!
[COOLEY]
Come all ye pilgrims!
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
Hail the miracle!
[COOLEY]
Hear ye the joyful bells!
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]

[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
It's a miracle that's going to change your life!
[COOLEY]
Come along and see the miracle
And bring the wife!
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
There's a miracle that's happening
In this town
And you'll never have to worry
If you hurry down
There's a miracle that's going
To change your life
Come along and see the miracle
And bring the wife!
[CORA]
Are you looking for hope?
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
I'm looking for hope...
[CORA]
Hoping for an answer?
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
Hoping for an answer...
[CORA]

[CORA]
Come and take the waters
For a modest fee
Come and take the waters
And feel new
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
Feel new
[CORA]
Come and take the waters
And with luck you'll be
Anything whatever, except you
[PILGRIMS]
Comfort...
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
Come and take the waters
With humility
Come and take the waters
And feel new
[CORA]
Come and take the waters
And you're bound to be
Happy and successful!
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
Happy and successful!
[CORA]
Liked and loved and beautiful and perfect!

Healthy, rich, handsome, independent
Wise, adjusted and secure and athletic!
[PILGRIMS]
Rainbow!
Rainbow... Rainbow... Rainbow... Rainbow... Rainbow!
Rainbow!!!
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
The Lord said, "Let there be water!"
The Lord said, "Turn on the font!"
The Lord said, "Let ye be what ye want!"
Our troubles are over!
Our troubles are over
Praise the Lord!
Look upon the gift
And lift
Up your chin now!
[CORA & COOLEY]
Look upon the boom
No room
At the inn now!
[TOWNSPEOPLE & PILGRIMS]
Glory Hallelu
Our problems are through
And thank you, Lord!
Thank you, Lord!
