Strong Hand (for June) - Emmylou Harris

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
