When You Believe

Really nice song from Prince of Egypt — English translation for Hebrew parts in italics
Multilanguage version

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
And now I am standing here
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 (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
You will when you believe

Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
("I will sing to the LORD for he is highly exalted" —Exodus 15:1a)
Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
Mi chamocha baelim adonai
("Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ?" —Exodus 15:11a)
Mi kamocha nedar bakodesh
("Who is like you— majestic in holiness" —Exodus 15:11b)

Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
("In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed" —Exodus 15:13a)
Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Ashira ashira ashira
(I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)

Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
Mi chamocha baelim adonai
Mi kamocha nedar bakodesh

Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Ashira ashira ashira

There can be miracles
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
