Chorus:
Myra, Myra, many boats in the harbour;
Gonna go down south and make many fast dollar,
And shake up the party, shake up the party;
Oh, Myra, Myra, many boats in the harbour;
Gonna go down south and make many fast dollar,
And shake up the party, shake up the party.
Myra, go down to the harbour;
I tell you, Myra, go down to the harbour;
Won't you hear me, Myra, go down to the harbour,
'Cause the big white ship pulled in today.
(Chorus)
I no time to see Myra today;
I tell you, no time to see Myra today;
I no time to see Myra today;
'Cause the big white ship, she sail away.
Oh, yeh! Cajun man, do all he can,
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
At birth, Mama 'n' Papa called their little boy Ned;
Raised him on the banks of the river bed.
A houseboat tied to a big, tall tree,
A home for my mama and my papa and me.
The clock strikes three, Papa jumps to his feet;
Already Mama's cookin' Papa somethin' to eat.
At half-past, Papa, he's a-ready to go;
He jumps in his bureau headed down the bayou.
Chorus:
He's got a fishin' line strung across a Louisiana river,
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
He sets his traps in the swamps, catches anything he can;
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
Oh, yeh! Cajun man, do all he can,
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
They call Mama Rita and my daddy Jack;
The little baby brother on the floor is Mack.
Bryn and Lynn are the family twins,
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'.
On the river float Papa's great big boat;
That's how my papa goes into town
Takes ev'ry bit of the night and day
To even reach a place where the people stay.
(Chorus)
I can hardly wait 'til tomorrow comes 'round;
That's the day my Papa takes his furs to town.
Papa said, "Son, we got lines to run.
We come back again, 'cause there's work to be done."
(Chorus)
Oh, yeh! Cajun man, do all he can,
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
Miracles happen, miracles happen
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, miracles happen
I can't imagine living my life without you now
Not ever having you around
We found our way out
(On you I can depend)
Don't have to look back to realize how far we've come
There are a million reasons
I'm lookin up
I don't want this to end
Nothin'
Nothin' should ever bring you down
Knowing what goes around will come around
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe

You showed me dreams come to light
That takin' a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When you believe
There is no question we found the missing pieces
Our picture is complete
It's fallen into place

This is our moment, you and I are looking up
Someone is watching over us
Keeping me close
Closer to you everyday
Nowhere
Nowhere on earth I'd rather be
No one can take this away from you and me
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe

You showed me dreams come to light
That takin' a chace on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When you believe
When you believe
The soul is a shining light
When you believe
The heart has the will to fight
You can do anything, don't be afraid
We're gonna find our way
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(Miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light

To show the love that's inside me
Want you so much

Dreams
Have u ever had a dream
One day a thought came to me
took me a while to understand
oh transformed into a vision
as if I could touch it with my hand
I guess I should have known it was me all the time
I guess I should have known it was there on my mind
oh dream these dreams a dream a dreams
why do they fade away
they some never oh
not even more than ever
these visions in my mind
can men go all the time
tell me where they go
un even more than
there€™s a window in my mind
drifting in the same time
and I only wanna know
what it means
everyone€™s still on the ground
trying to get me to come down
but I just can€™t see my self with out a dream
they say it€™s not for real
they say I€™m playing a little game
oh but I just keep on believing
the real things and dreams could be the same
oh
bridge
chorus
ohhhhhahhhhh€.
I know there€™s a dream€I know this was for everyone
there€™s a dream for everyone
oh I know there€™s one out there for everyone
don€™t give up dreaming
ohhh..
Chorus:
Myra, Myra, many boats in the harbour;
Gonna go down south and make many fast dollar,
And shake up the party, shake up the party;
Oh, Myra, Myra, many boats in the harbour;
Gonna go down south and make many fast dollar,
And shake up the party, shake up the party.
Myra, go down to the harbour;
I tell you, Myra, go down to the harbour;
Won't you hear me, Myra, go down to the harbour,
'Cause the big white ship pulled in today.
(Chorus)
I no time to see Myra today;
I tell you, no time to see Myra today;
I no time to see Myra today;
'Cause the big white ship, she sail away.
