Miracle Song
[ENSEMBLE]
Ah, ah, ah
[MRS. SCHROEDER]
It's a sign! It's a sign!
[CORA]
And it's mine!
[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 shrine!
See it shine!
[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, COOLEY]
Who's got the miracle? 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!
[CORA, COOLEY, SCHROEDER]
The Lord said, "Let there be water"
The Lord said, "Turn on the font!"
Lord said, "Let there be pilgrims
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!
