Believe
Jackie Evancho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling,
Like bells in the distance
We were dreamers,
Not so long ago
But one by one, we
All had to grow up
When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste,
There so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside,
Give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need, if you just believe
Trains move quickly
To their journey's end
Destinations
Are where we begin again
Ships go sailing,
Far across the sea
Trusting starlight,
To get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste,
There so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need, if you just Believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
The lyrics to Jackie Evancho's "To Believe" speak to the power of belief and the importance of holding onto our dreams and sense of wonder in the face of adversity. The opening lines depict a peaceful winter scene, with all of its quiet joy and possibility. However, the following lines reveal that the characters in the song are no longer able to hold onto their childlike dreams because they have grown up.
This theme of losing wonder and imagination is pervasive in modern life, where people often feel that they lose their sense of curiosity and enchantment as they age. Christmas, on the other hand, provides a moment for people to revisit those dreams and reconnect with the magic of the season. The chorus encourages listeners to follow their hearts, trust their feelings, and allow the joy of the season to permeate their lives.
The second verse expands on this message by presenting the journey metaphor. It reminds us that while we all have destinations in mind, what is truly meaningful is the journey itself. Jackie Evancho's soaring vocals and uplifting instrumentals enhance the song's message of hope and perseverance, inspiring listeners to keep believing in themselves and their dreams.

Children, sleeping
The innocence and purity of children as they sleep
Snow is softly falling
The peaceful and calming effect of the falling snow
Dreams are calling,
The subconscious thoughts and hopes of the children
Like bells in the distance
A far away and mystical feeling associated with their dreams
We were dreamers,
The simplicity of childhood where children imagine without limit
Not so long ago
Nostalgic memories of the past where the world was a happier place
But one by one, we
Growing up and losing the wonder of childhood
All had to grow up
Reality catching up with everyone and the end of innocence
When it seems the magic slipped away
Feeling like the magic of life has left and everything is bleak
We find it all again on Christmas Day
The hope that Christmas brings to people, especially to the children
Believe in what your heart is saying,
The importance of following your heart's desires and not losing hope
Hear the melody that's playing
The positivity emanating from the environment, especially joyful music
There's no time to waste,
Every moment counts and should be used to the fullest
There so much to celebrate
The abundance of good in life and the need to enjoy it
Believe in what you feel inside,
Urging to have faith in oneself and what one thinks is right
Give your dreams the wings to fly
The importance of nurturing one's dreams and allowing them to flourish
You have everything you need, if you just believe
Assurance that everything is possible if one only has faith in themselves
Trains move quickly
The fast-paced and dynamic nature of life
To their journey's end
Everyone has a destination, sometimes which is not known from the beginning
Destinations
...that we may lose, but can also discover new ones
Are where we begin again
Every journey to a new place can be seen as the start of another adventure
Ships go sailing,
Travel outside of one's comfort zone or to unknown places
Far across the sea
Overcoming obstacles and achieving something great
Trusting starlight,
Believing in something beyond oneself
To get where they need to be
Having faith that things will work out and taking chances
When it seems that we have lost our way
Feeling lost and disconnected from one's path in life
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day
The hopeful belief that everything will fall into place on this special day of joy and love
If you just believe
A repeated message throughout the song that emphasizes the power of belief

To Believe
Jackie Evancho
Before I lay me down to rest
I ask the Lord one small request
I know I have all I could need
But this prayer is not for me
Too many people on this day
Don't have a peaceful place to stay
Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace
Wipe their tears of sorrow away
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow's counted
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer
Let me try always to believe
That we can hear the hearts that grieve
Please help us not ignore
The anguished cries of the poor
Or their pain will never leave
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow's counted
That you hear their cries and listen to each prayer
(spoken prayer)
Father, as you see, I'm just a child
And there's so much to understand
But if Your Grace should surround me
Then I'll do the best I can
I promise, I'll do the very best I can
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow's counted
That you hear each cry and listen to each
Prayer {Hear each cry and listen to each prayer}
Help us do Your will oh Father
In the name of all that's true
And we'll see in one another
The loving image of You
♡Jesus bless us♡

Hello again dear Lurch,
You did take the time to do a lot of research,well done.
Most of these title apply to Jesus,right.
And God is his father.
I wonder what does your Bible say in
PSALMS 83:18 ?
Does it say the MOST HIGH alone,whose name isJehovah or
Yaweh?
In the Hebrew language it would read JHWH,
known also as the
TETRAGRAMATON.
In English we say the meaning is :
He causes to become.
That is his personal name.

To Believe
Para acreditar
Before I lay me down to rest
Antes que eu me deite para descansar
I ask the Lord one small request
Peço ao Senhor um pequeno pedido
I know I have all I could need
Eu sei que tenho tudo o que eu poderia precisar
But this prayer is not for me
Mas essa oração não é para mim
Too many people on this day
Muitas pessoas neste dia
Don't have a peaceful place to stay
Não tem um lugar tranquilo para ficar
Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace
Que todos os combates deixam que seus filhos podem ver a paz
Wipe their tears of sorrow away
Limpe suas lágrimas de tristeza embora
To believe in a day
Para acreditar em um dia
When hunger and war will pass away
Quando a fome ea guerra vai passar
To have the hope amidst despair
Para ter a esperança no meio do desespero
That every sparrow's counted
Que cada pardal está contado
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer
que você ouve cada grito e ouvir cada oração
Let me try always to believe
Deixe-me tentar sempre acreditar
That we can heal the hearts that grieve
Que podemos curar os corações que sofrer
Please help us not ignore
Por favor, ajude-nos a não ignorar
The anguished cries of the poor
Os clamores dos pobres
Or their pain will never leave
Ou a sua dor nunca vai embora
To believe in a day
Para acreditar em um dia
When hunger and war will pass away
Quando a fome ea guerra vai passar
To have the hope amidst despair
Para ter a esperança no meio do desespero
That every sparrow's counted
Que cada pardal está contado
That you hear their cries and listen to each prayer
que você ouve seus gritos e ouvir cada oração
Father, as you see, I'm just a child
Pai, como você vê, eu sou apenas uma criança
And there's so much to understand
E há tanta coisa para entender
But if Your Grace should surround me
Mas se Vossa Graça deve me cercam
Then I'll do the best I can
Então eu vou fazer o melhor que posso
I promise, I'll do the very best I can
eu prometo, eu vou fazer o melhor que posso
To believe in a day
Para acreditar em um dia
When hunger and war will pass away
Quando a fome ea guerra vai passar
To have the hope amidst despair
Para ter a esperança no meio do desespero
That every sparrow's counted
Que cada pardal está contado
That you hear each cry and listen to each
que você ouve cada grito e ouvir cada um deles
Prayer {Hear each cry and listen to each prayer}
Oração {Ouça cada grito e ouvir cada oração}
Help us do Your will oh Father
Ajude-nos a fazer a tua vontade oh Pai
In the name of all that's true
Em nome de tudo o que é verdade
And we'll see in one another
E vamos ver no outro
The loving image of You

Ouvir Jackie Evancho cantar ao vivo agora é uma experiência incrível. A última vez que a vimos em um show foi em 2020. A voz de Jackie está muito mais poderosa agora com o mesmo belo tom e timbre com controle vocal ainda melhor.
