When You Believe
Leon Jackson 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

A small yet firm voice
Says hope is very near, ohh
Assures that hope is close, ohh
And now you will
And now you'll succeed
You will, when you believe
You'll make it come true when you have faith
