Miracle Song

[Cora:]
Baby Joan!

[Mrs. Schroeder:]
Baby Joan!
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 all mine!
It's a gold mine!
And it's all mine!

[Townspeople: (Overlapping, repeating)]
It's a sign!
It's a shrine!
See it shine!

A shrine, a shrine, a shrine!

[Cora:]
And it's holier than thine!

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!
Who's got the miracle?

[Townspeople:]
We!

There's water that you part

[Cora:]
Yes!

[Townspeople:]
Water that you walk on

[Cora:]
Ooh!

[Townspeople:]
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

[Cora:]
"Let there be water!"

[Townspeople:]
The Lord said

[Cora:]
"Turn on the font!"

[Townspeople:]
The Lord said

[Cora:]
"Let there be pilgrims
And let them all think whatever they want."

[Townspeople:]
Blessed be the child

[Cora:]
Blessed be the tourist

[Townspeople:]
Blessed is its own reward
Water is a boon, we'll soon be in clover!

[Cora:]
Better issue stock, my rock runneth over!

[Townspeople:]
Glory Hallelu
You finally came through
And thank you, Lord!
Our faith is restored!
Thank you, Lord!

[Cora:]
Come, all ye pilgrims!

[Townspeople:]
Hail the miracle!

[Cora:]
See ye the wondrous sight!

[Townspeople:]
Hail the miracle, praise the miracle!

[Cora:]
Take ye the bus tonight

[Townspeople:]
There's a miracle that's happening in this town

[Cora:]
If you want to see a miracle, then hurry on down!
Come, all ye pilgrims!

[Townspeople:]
Hail the miracle!

[Cora:]
Hear ye the joyful bells!

[Townspeople:]
Hail the miracle!
Bless the miracle!

[Cora:]
Fill ye the new motels!

[Townspeople:]
It's a miracle that's going to change your life
Come along and see the miracle -

[Cora:]
- And bring the wife!

[Townspeople (subgroups alternating):]
There's a miracle that's happening in this town
And you'll never have to worry if you hurry on 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 a hope?

[Pilgrims:]
Looking for a hope...

[Cora:]
Hoping for an answer?

[Pilgrims:]
Hoping for an answer...

[Cora:]
New life

[Pilgrims:]
New life...

[Cora:]
True happiness

[Pilgrims:]
True happiness...

[Cora:]
Come!

[Pilgrims:]
[Indistinct murmuring]
Help!

[Cora:]
Come and take the water for a modest fee
Come and take the waters and feel new

[Pilgrims:]
Feel new...

[Cora:]
Come and take the waters, and with luck you'll be
Anything whatever except you

[Pilgrims:]
[Indistinct murmuring]
Comfort!

[Townspeople:]
Come and take the waters with humility
Come and take the waters and feel new

[Cora:]
Come and take the waters, and with luck you'll be
Happy and successful!

[Pilgrims and townspeople:]
Happy and successful!

[Cora:]
Liked and loved and beautiful and perfect!

[Pilgrims and townspeople:]
Beautiful and perfect!

[Cora:]
Healthy, rich, handsome, independent
Wise, adjusted and secure and athletic!

[Pilgrims:]
Rainbow!
Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow!
Rainbow!

[All:]
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:]
Look upon the boom - no room at the inn now!

[All:]
Glory Hallelu
Our problems are through
And thank you, Lord!
Thank you, Lord!

[Cora:]
They love me!
