Many nights we’ve
C/D
prayed
with
Am/D
no proof any
Bb/D
one could
Dm
hear.
In our hearts a
Bbmaj7
hopeful
song
we
Gm7
barely
under
Am/C
stood.
Now
D
we are not a
Am7
fraid,
al
C/E
though we
C/F
know there’s
G
much to
Fmaj7
fear.
Bb
We were moving
Dm/A
mountains
long
be
Gm7
fore we
Bbmaj7
knew we
Csus4
could…
C
F
There can be miracles
F/E
when you be
Am7/E
lieve,
Dm
though hope is
Am/C
frail
it’s
Bb
hard to kill.

F
Who knows what miracles
F/E
you can a
Am7/E
chieve
Dm
when you be
F/A
lieve,
Am
some
Bbmaj7
how you will.
Gm7
You will when
C
you
be
Dm
lieve.
C/D
Dm
In this time of
C/D
fear
when
Am/D
prayer so often
Bb/D
proved in
Dm
vain,
hope seemed like the
Bbmaj7
summer birds –
too
Gm7
swiftly flown a
Am/C
way.
Yet
D
now I’m standing
Am7
here
with
C/E
heart so
C/F
full I
G
can’t
ex
Fmaj7
plain,
Bb
seeking faith and
Dm/A
speaking
words
I
Gm7
never
Bbmaj7
thought I’d
Csus4
say…

G
There can be miracles
G/F#
when you be

lieve,

though hope is

Who knows what miracles
G/F#
you can a

when you be
G/B
lieve,
some
C
how you will.
Am7
You will when
D
you
be
G
lieve…
