Prince of Egypt soundtrack – When You Believe (Many Nights We Pray) lyrics

Album: Prince of Egypt

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 a summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here (now I'm standing here)
With heart so full I can't explain
(together) 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...

(The following is sung by the children- it's a Hebrew song called the song of the sea)
A-shi-ra La-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
A-shi-ra La-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
Mi-kha-mo-kha ba-elim A-do-nai
(Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial)
Mi-kha-mo-kha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
(Who is like You, majestic in holiness)
Na-hi-tah ve-has-de-kha am-zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
Na-hi-tah ve-has-de-kha am-zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra
(I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)
(Repeat)

(Together)
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 (miracles)
You can achieve (you can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will...
Now you will...
You will when you believe (When you believe)
You will when you believe.
