When You Believe

many nights we 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 along
before we knew we could
(chorus)

there can be miracles
when you believe
though hope is frail
its hard to kill
who knows what miracles
you can achieve
when you believe somehow you will
you will when you believe
easy to despair
when all you hear is fear and lies
easy to just run and hide
too frightened to begin
but if we dare to dare
don't wait for prayers from the skies
each of us can look inside
and hear this song within
(chorus)

there can be miracles
when you believe
though hope is frail
its hard to kill
who knows what miracles
you can achieve
when you believe somehow you will
you will when you believe
they don't always happen when you ask
and its easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your faith
Can't see you're way clear through the rain
a small but still resilient voice
Says hope is very near
(oooohhh)

(chorus)

there can be miracles
when you believe
Though hope is frail
its hard to kill (kill)
who knows what miracles
you can achieve
when you believe somehow you will
(now you will)
you will when you believe

you will when youbelieve
