When You Believe

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

There can be miracles 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

In this time of fear, when prayer so often proves in vain

Hope seems like the summer bird, too swiftly flown away

Summer bird

Yet now, I'm standing here, my heart so full, I can't explain

Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say

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

And it's easy to give in to your fears

Oh, your fear

But when you're blinded by your pain

Your pain

Can't see your way here through the rain

The rain

A small but still, resilient voice

Says, "Help is very near, oh"

There can be miracles when you believe

When you believe

Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill, oh, whoa

It's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles you can achieve

Miracles

When you believe, somehow, you will, oh, oh

Somehow, you will

Now you will, whoa-whoa, oh-oh

Ooh, ooh

You will when you believe

You will when you believe
