From the Rankin/Bass special 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (1974) and reworked as something a bit different to the original.
lyrics
Miracles happen most ev'ry day to people like you and me,
but don't expect a miracle, unless you help make it to be. So...
You hope and I'll hurry, you pray and I'll plan
We'll do what's necessary, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand
You love and I'll labor, you sit and I'll stand
Get help from our next-door neighbor, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand
We'll help our Maker to make our dreams come true,
but I can't do it alone, so here's what we're gonna do.
You hope and I'll hurry, you pray and I'll plan
We'll do what's necessary, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand
We'll help our Maker to make our dreams come true,
but we can't do it alone, so what are we gonna do?
You wish and I'll whittle. You drip while I dry
Let's all try to help a little, 'cause even a miracle needs a hand
