Prince
Whitney Houston feat. Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

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 you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near

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
You will when you believe

You will when you believe
Just believe




Gotta believe
You will when you believe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey's song The Prince of Egypt express the power and importance of faith, hope, and the belief in miracles. The song starts by acknowledging the power of prayer, even when there seems to be no proof that anyone is listening. It then highlights the power of hope and the strength it can give us, even in the face of fear. The lyrics describe the feeling of being able to move mountains, even when we didn't know we had the power within us to do so.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the central message, that miracles can happen when we believe in them. The lyrics describe how hope may be fragile, but it's difficult to extinguish. The song encourages listeners to believe that anything is possible and that they have the ability to achieve miracles in their own lives.


The song recognizes that miracles don't always happen when we want them to and that it can be easy to give in to fear during difficult times. However, it reminds us that we should listen to the resilient voice within us, which urges us to have faith and believe in love. The lyrics convey that by having faith, we can achieve great things and that ultimately, we will achieve our goals when we believe in them.

Seeking faith and speaking words
Searching for hope and expressing ourselves


I never thought I'd say
Words I never imagined to speak


They don't always happen when you ask
Things don't always occur when we want them


And it's easy to give in to your fear
It's effortless to succumb to our fears


But when you're blinded by your pain
When our hurt blinds us


Can't see your way safe through the rain
Can't determine how to move forward through challenging times


Thought of a still resilient voice
Remembering a calming voice


Says love is very near
It reassures us that love is close


Now you will
We will succeed now


Just believe
All we need to do is believe


Gotta believe
We must have faith


You will when you believe
We will succeed when we believe

不 要 效 法 這 個 世 界
只 要 心 意 更 新 而 變 化
叫 你 們 查 驗 何 謂 神 的
善 良 純 全 可 喜 悅 的 旨 意 。
〔羅馬書 十二:2〕

但 那 等 候 耶 和 華 的
必 重 新 得 力 展 翅 上 騰
他 們 奔 跑 也 不 睏 倦
行 走 卻 不 疲 乏 。
〔以賽亞書 四十:31〕

Many nights we 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, whoa, yes
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
Oh-oh-oh
Mmm, yeah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
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, it's 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 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
You can achieve (You can achieve, oh)
When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow)
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
Believe
