It was in the winter of '79
When the band was at a low
Then we met yer man that they called The Mouth
At a party there on show

He said "Why'd you carry on this way
I could never go to dat"
But he had to learn he was just the same
One step forward two steps back

Chorus
Can you hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles
Just as only dreamers can
And if he can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man
Like a bloody minded man

It was in the autumn of '84
Going live through '85
When he made the greatest show on earth
To help a country to survive

Chorus
Can you hear me now, hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles
Just as only dreamers can
And if he can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man
Like a bloody minded man

So yer man determined he found a cause
When the powers just couldn't cope
Or did you ever think that old rock and roll
Could give the world some kind of hope

Chorus
Can you hear me now, hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles
Just as only dreamers can
And if he can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man
Like a bloody minded man

Oh do you believe in miracles
When the dream has just begun
And if he can work with a miracle
Just like Irelands favourite son
And the dream has just begun

Do you believe in miracles

Repeat to fade
Oh do you believe in miracles
