When You Believe

1. Many nights we pray
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.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away.

And now I am standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say.

[Bridge:]
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small but still resilient voice
Says love is very near.

[Coda:]
Somehow you will (Somehow, Somehow, Somehow you will)
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe.
