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.

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

with heart so full I can’t explain,

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…

Ashira ladonai,

ki ga-oh ga-ah

Ashira ladonai,

ki ga-oh ga-ah

Mi chamocha ba-elim Adonai

Mi kamocha ne-edar bakodesh

Nachita bchasd’cha

am zu ga-alta

Nachita bchasd’cha

am zu ga-alta

Ashira, ashira, ashira.

Ashira ladonai,

ki ga-oh ga-ah

Ashira ladonai,

ki ga-oh ga-ah

Mi chamocha ba-elim Adonai

Mi kamocha ne-edar bakodesh

Nachita bchasd’cha

am zu ga-alta

Nachita b’chasd’cha am zu ga-alta

Ashira, ashira, ashira!

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.

(now you will)

You will when you believe.

You will when you believe.
