#5 English Song

When You Believe

1.Lyrics

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 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 pray so often proves in vain Hope seems like the summer birds 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 it's easy to give in to your fears But when you're blinded by your pain Can't see your way clear through the rain A small but still, resilient voice says hope is very near 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 You will when you Believe You will when you Believe

4.reason

When I heard this song for the first time, the lyrics that impressed me the most was ''When you believe, some how you will, you will when you believe. In life, when faced with some impossible or unsatisfactory things, even if you feel fear in your heart  you still believe that hope exists! Just believe and you can do it! There is hope for all things!
