Lyrics

(Bm)Man y nights we (A)pray

with (F#m7)no proof a ny (Bm)one could hear.

In our hearts a hope ful song we (Em7)bare ly un der (F#m)stand.

Now (B)we are not a fraid

al though we know there’s (Esus4)much to fear.

(G)We were mov ing moun tains long be (Em7)fore we knew we (Asus2)could.

There can be mi ra cles

when you be lieve.

Though hope is (F#m)frail

it’s (Gmaj7)hard to kill.

Who knows what mi ra cles

you can a chieve

when you be lieve,

some (Gmaj7)how you will?

You will when (A)you

be lieve.

Ooh.

(Bm)In this time of (A)fear

when (F#m7)prayer so of ten (Bm)proves in vain, hope seems like the sum mer birds, too (Em7)swift ly flown a (F#m)way.

Yet (B)now I’m stand ing (A)here,

my heart’s so full I (Esus4)can’t ex plain,

(G)seek ing faith and speak ing words I (Em7)nev er thought I’d (A)say.

There can be mi ra cles

when you be lieve.

Though hope is (G#m)frail

it’s (Amaj7)hard to kill.

Who knows what mi ra cles

you can a chieve

when you be lieve

some (Amaj7)how you will.

You will when (B)you

be lieve.

They don’t al ways hap pen when

you ask.

And it’s ea sy to give in to your fears.

But when you’re blind ed by your pain, can’t see your way straight through the rain, a small but still re sil ient voice

says (Bsus4)love is ve ry (B)near.

There can be mi ra cles

when you be lieve.

Though hope is (A#m)frail

it’s (A#m)hard to kill.

Who knows what mi ra cles

you can a chieve

when you be (A#m7)lieve,

some (Bmaj7)how you will?

(F#)Now you will.

You will when (C#)you

be (D#m)lieve.

You will when you

be (F#)lieve.

You will when you

be (F#)lieve.
