“When You Believe” By Whitney Houston, sung by Belle Downing
Many nights we prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hope for a 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, whoa, yes
There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail Its 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 seems like the summer bird Too swiftly flown away Yet now I’m standing here My hearts so full, I can’t explain
Seeking faith and speakin’ words I never thought I’d say There can be miracles When you believe
Though hope is frail Its 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 And its easy to give in to your fears But when you’re blinded by your pain Can’t see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice Says hope is very near, oh There can be miracles When you believe
Though hope is frail Its hard to kill Who knows what miracles You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will Somehow you will You will when you believe
