Miracle Song
[CORA, spoken]
Mrs. Schroeder, why is Baby Joan kissing that rock, and why is she moaning? Is she in some sort of a trance?

[MRS. SCHROEDER, spoken]
No, she's thirsty

[CORA, spoken]
Don't you tell me this town is even out of water! If you were any kind of a decent mother, you'd take that child home

[MRS. SCHROEDER, spoken]
Why? All she needs is a good belt and a— look! Coming out of the rock, water!

[CORA, spoken]
Oh, Baby Joan, what have you done?

[MRS. SCHROEDER, spoken]
It's a miracle

[CORA, spoken]
A what?

[MRS. SCHROEDER, spoken]
A miracle, your honor, a miracle!

[CORA, spoken]
You're absolutely right, it is a miracle! I'm saved! They love me!
(sung)
Baby Joan
[MRS. SCHROEDER]

[ENSEMBLE]
Ah, ah, ah

[MRS. SCHROEDER]
It's a sign! It's a sign!

[CORA]
And it's mine!

[SCHROEDER]
It's a shrine! It's a shrine!

[CORA]
And it's mine!
It's a gold mine!

[TOWNSPEOPLE]
There's water in a lake
Water in a river
Water in the deep blue sea
But water in a rock—Lord! That's a miracle!

[CORA, COOLEY]
Who's got the miracle? We!
There's water that you part
Water that you walk on
Water that you turn to wine!
But water from a rock—Lord! What a miracle!

[TOWNSPEOPLE]
This is a miracle that's divine
Truly divine!

[CORA]
Really divine!

[CORA, COOLEY, SCHROEDER]
The Lord said, "Let there be water"
[CORA]
The Lord said, "Turn on the font!"

[COOLEY]
Lord said, "Let there be pilgrims

[CORA]
And let them all think whatever they want"

[ALL]
Blessed be the child
Blessed be the tourist
Blessed is its own reward

[COOLEY]
Water is a boon
We'll soon
Be in clover!

[CORA]
Better issue stock
My rock
Runneth over!
