When You Believe (Live oscars 1999) - Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey
Lyrics by:Stephen Schwartz
Composed by:Stephen Schwartz
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
Oh yes
In this time of fear when prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here my heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say
Say
There can be miracles when you believe
When you believe
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe
When you believe
When you believe
When you believe
They don't always happen when you ask uh
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see a way to get through the rain
A small but still resilient voice
Says "Love is very near" oh
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
You can achieve oh
When you believe
Somehow somehow somehow
You will when you
When you
When you
You will when you believe
You will you will
Just believe
Believe
