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
