|
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 prayer so often proves in vain
|
Hope seemed like the summer birds
|
Too 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
|
|
HOOK
|
|
So in times when all your hope is gone
|
And you go through life afraid
|
In your heart there lies a hopeful song
|
That is there to guide the way
|
And all the hurt and all the pain
|
You soon will learn was not in vain
|
For all your prayers, they will be heard
|
They'll come to pass through faith
|
|
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
|
Now you will
|
You will when you believe
|
