When You Believe

Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey

Many nights we prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful 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
It’s hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe

[Mmm…mmm…mmm…yeah]
Mmm…yeah…

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 heart’s so full, I can’t explain
Seeking faith and speakin’ words
I never thought I’d say

There can be miracles
When 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 will
You will when you believe

[Hey…]
[Ooh…]

They don't always happen when you ask
And it’s 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… [Oh…]

There can be miracles (Miracles)
When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah) [Though hope is frail]
Though hope is frail [It’s hard]
It’s hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah)

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve, oh…)
When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow)
Somehow you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you believe [When you]
(Oh…oh…)
[You will when you]
(You will when you believe)
[Ooh…ooh…ooh…]
[Oh...oh…]
[When you believe]
[When you believe]
