When You Believe
Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston Lyrics


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

(Oh yeah)
Mmmyeah
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 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 (when you believe)
Though hope is frail
Its 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

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 your way clear 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)
Its 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)
Now you will (now I, now I, know)
You will when you believe (when you)
(Oh oh)

(You will when you)
(You will when you believe)
(Ohoohooh)
(Oh, oh, you will) (believe)

(Just believe)
You will when you believe

When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
Oh-oh-oh
Mmm, yeah

When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here

When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
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, help is very near, oh (Oh)
There can be miracles (Miracles)
When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah)
Who knows what miracles

Now, you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you (When you)
Believe
You will when you (You will when you)
Believe
Just believe (Believe)
Just believe
You will when you

@Renz Chloe Parungao I just don't get the Mariah thing. Just because someone can sing in 4 or 5 octives does not make them good singers. If I were to PICK the best of the era. (I really don't listen to that kind of music.) But my two.for that era would go to Christina Aguilera & of course WHITNEY. NEVER got into the Mariah thing.MUSIC ,ART IS SO SUBJECTIVE.✌
