When You Believe

Just happen to chance upon this song on Youtube.

Many years ago when it came out, I may not have appreciated as much as I thought it carried with it a slight religious undertone (seeing that it was for the movie about Moses). Given current circumstances, I suppose it could have general application

Many nights we prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hope for a 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
Its 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 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 

Though hope is frail
Its 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 its 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 hope is very near, oh 
There can be miracles 
When you believe 
Though hope is frail 
Its hard to kill 
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve 
When you believe somehow you will 
Somehow you will 
You will when you believe
