When You Believe
[MIRIAM]
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

[TZIPPORAH]
In this time of fear, when prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here

[MIRIAM]
Now I’m standing here

[TZIPPORAH]
With heart so full I can't explain
[MIRIAM]
With heart so full

[TZIPPORAH]
Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say

[MIRIAM & TZIPPORAH]
There can be miracles when you believe
(When you believe)
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
(You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

[YOUNG MIRIAM]
Ashira l'adonai; ki gaoj ga-ah
Ashira l'adonai; ki gaoj ga-ah
Mi chamocha baelim adonai
Mi kamocha nedar ba kodesh

[ENSEMBLE]
Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Nachita v’chas-d’cha am zu ga-alta
Ashira, ashira, ashira
Ashira l'adonai; ki gaoj ga-ah
Ashira l’adonai; ki gaoj ga-ah
Mi chamocha baelim adonai
Mi kamocha nedar ba kodesh
Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Nachita v'chas-d’cha am zu ga-alta
Ashira, ashira, ashira!

[ENSEMBLE, (MIRIAM & TZIPPORAH)]
There can be miracles when you believe
(When you believe)
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
(It's hard to kill)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
(You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe
(When you believe)

[MOSES]
You will when you believe
