My folks they were always the first family to arrive 
With seven people jammed into a car that seated five 
There was one bathroom to bathe and shave in 
Six of us stood in line 
And hot water for only three 
But we all did just fine 

Talk about your miracles 
Talk about your faith 
My dad he could make things grow 
Out of Indiana clay 
Mom could make a gourmet meal 
Out of just cornbread and beans 
And they worked to give faith hands and feet 
And somehow gave it wings 

I can still hear my dad cussin' 
He's working late out in the barn 
The spring planting is coming 
And the tractors just won't run 
Mom she's done the laundry 
I can see it waving on the line 
Now they've stayed together 
Through the pain and the strain of those times 

Talk about your miracles 
Talk about your faith 
My dad he could make things grow 
Out of Indiana clay 
Mom could make a gourmet meal 
Out of just cornbread and beans 
And they worked to give faith hands and feet 
And somehow gave it wings 

And now they've raised five children 
One winter they lost a son 
But the pain didn't leave them crippled 
And the scars have made them strong 
Never picture perfect 
Just a plain man and his wife 
Who somehow knew the value 
Of hard work, good love, and real life 

Talk about your miracles 
Talk about your faith 
My dad he could make things grow 
Out of Indiana clay 
Mom could make a gourmet meal 
Out of just cornbread and beans 
And they worked to give faith hands and feet 
And somehow gave it wings
