Emmylou Harris - Strong Hand (For June) lyrics

He was a tall man Raised up from the fields out pickin' cotton In a hard land Where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten But when he saw her All those bad times were forgotten And he believed, he believed She was the strong hand A good sister and a daughter Lookin' for one man To love the way that her mama'd taught her And when she saw him She thanked God for what he'd brought her She believed, she believed And it's a miracle How one soul finds another Just one miracle Is all it took my brother For I have seen them As they walk this world together And I believe, I believe It's a sad thing When one must leave the other And fly up where the voice rings Out with all the multitudes that gather But for a short while Down here no song ever sounded sweeter And we believed, we believed For it's a miracle How one soul finds another Just one miracle Is all it took my brother And I will see them Someday they'll walk again together I believe, I believe This I believe, I believe
