When You Believe
Jackson Leon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Easy to despair
When all you hear is fear and lies
Easy just to run and hide
Too frightened to begin
But if we dare to dare
Don't wait for answers from the skies
Each of us can look inside
And hear this song within
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
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when your blinded by your faith
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still resilient voice
Says hope is very near, ohh
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
(Now you will)
And now you will
You will, when you believe
You will, when you believe

"When You Believe"
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.
[Chorus]
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,
Some how you will.
You will when you believe.
Easy to despair,
When all you hear is fear and lies.
Easy just to run and hide,
To frightened to begin.
But if we dare to dare,
Don’t wait for answers from the sky.
Each of us can look inside,
And hear this song within.
[Chorus]
They don’t always happen when, you ask.
And it’s easy to give in, to your fear.
But when you blinded by your faith,
Can’t see your way clear through the rain,
A small but still resilient voice;
Says hope is very near.
Ohhhhh.
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,
Some how you will. . .
How you will
You will when you believe.
You will when you believe.

I remember I was only a young boy when he sang the cover of this song, can’t believe all the years that have passed since but this song will always have a special place in mine and my families heart. Fantastic cover and great memories ❤️
@GGG-sd9ei
He didn’t get the notoriety he deserved. He was let down badly by Cowell. He was so young when he won, he didn’t deserve what Cowell done to him. Leon was brilliant at this version!
