We Believe

        "I Believe," originally written by Ervin Drake, Irvin Graham, Jimmy Shirl and Al Stillman, is the Women's Chorus' signature song.  Sung at each Women's Chorus concert, "I Believe" represents a bond between all WC members, past and present, as well as a cherished memory for each member.

I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows

I believe for everyone who goes astray

Someone will come to show the way

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard

I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, or touch a leaf, or see the sky

Then I know why

I Believe.

        It is a quodlibet, which means that two different songs are placed on top of each other and sung simultaneously.  In this case, it is "I Believe" and "Ave Maria."
