Lyrics
When You Believe (feat. Mariah Carey)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts, a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could, oh, yes
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
Ah (uh, yeah)
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles when you believe (when you believe)
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask, ah
And it's easy to give in to your fears (oh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small but still resilient voice says: Help is very near (oh)
There can be miracles (miracles) when you believe (oh, when you believe)
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill (hard to kill)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve, oh)
When you believe, somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now you will (no, no, no)
You will when you believe (when you) (oh)
(You will when) you will when you believe
Just believe (believe)
Just believe (you will when you) believe
