D-DU-UDU
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
(same chords as verse 1)
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&8[C#m]217;t always h[B/D#]appen whe[E]n you [B]ask[E/G#]
And it&8[C#m]217;s easy to[B/D#] give in to[E] your [B]fea[E/G#]r
But when you&8217;re bl[E/G#]inded by[B] your pain
Can&8[E]217;t see[B/D#] your way[C#m] safe throug[B]h 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
