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 When you believe somehow you will you will when you believe ---- In this time of fear When prayers so often prove in vain Hope seems like the summer birds To 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 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 ---- they don't always happen when you ask (Oh) and it's easy to give in to your fears (Oh...Ohhh) But when you're blinded by your pain Can't see your way straight throught the rain Small but still, resilient voice Says love is the relief (Ohhh) ---- there can be miracles (Miracles) When you believe (Lord, when you believe) Though hope is frail (Though hope is frail) It's hard to kill (Hard to kill, Ohhh) Who knows what miracles,you can achieve When you believe, somehow you will(somehow,somehow, somehow) somehow you will You will when you believe ---- you will when you You will when you believe Just believe in your heart Just believe You will when you believee
