When You Believe Song Lyrics by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston
Many nights we prayedWith no proof, anyone could hearIn our hearts a hopeful songWe barely understoodNow, we are not afraidAlthough we know there’s much to fearWe were moving mountainsLong before we knew we could, whoa, yes
There can be miraclesWhen you believeThough hope is frail, it’s hard to killWho knows what miracles you can achieve?When you believe, somehow you willYou will when you believe
Oh-oh-ohMmm, yeah
In this time of fearWhen prayer so often proves in vainHope seems like the summer birdToo swiftly flown awayYet now I’m standing hereMy hearts so full, I can’t explainSeeking faith and speakin’ wordsI never thought I’d say
There can be miraclesWhen you believe (When you believe)Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill (Mmm)Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve)When you believe, somehow you willYou will when you believe
They don’t always happen when you askAnd it’s easy to give in to your fearsBut when you’re blinded by your painCan’t see the way, get through the rainA small but still, resilient voiceSays, help is very near, oh (Oh)
There can be miracles (Miracles)When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah)Though hope is frailIt’s hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah)Who knows what miraclesYou can achieve (You can achieve, oh)When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now, you will (I know, I know, know)You will when you (When you)BelieveYou will when you (You will when you)BelieveJust believe (Believe)Just believeYou will when youBelieve
