Lyrics
SOMETIMES BELIEVING
VERSE 1
Don?t skate on thin ice ? Momma said and it?s good advice
John fell right through
We pulled him out. Somehow Momma knew.
He was eight years old that day
He looked so tired and blue
SOMETIMES BELIEVING can make a wish come true
CHORUS
Birthday cake ablaze as she lays it on the table
Says a prayer for him. Blows the candles out
There were eight for years he grew. One for the year that?s new
SOMETIMES BELIEVING can make a wish come true
VERSE II
She ran to his side. Stayed right there through the ambulance ride
Doctors said no ? get ready ? it?s his time to go.
She said I?m not finished, must be something I can do
SOMETIMES BELIEVING can make a wish come true
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
She knows hope can make the heart grow strong.
It only takes one heart to prove the others wrong.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
Now with every breath he takes
He knows every day he awakes
SOMETIMES BELIEVING can make a wish come true
CODA
It was all she could do
But when a heart is true
SOMETIMES BELIEVING
Can make a wish come true
