When you Believe

	  		(FROM THE PRINCE OF EGYPT)

    Am               G         Em          Am
1. Many nights we pray, with no proof anyone could hear,
                     G                Dm            Em
    in our hearts a hopeful song, we barely understood.
         Am            G        Em                     Am
    Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear,
                       G            Dm               G       
   we were moving mountains long before we know we could. Oh, yes !
C                          G
    There can be miracles     when you believe,
Am                   Em          F           G
    though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
C                            G
    Who knows what miracles     you can achieve,
Am               Em          F
    when you believe, somehow you will,  
Dm                  G     Am
    you will when you believe.

2. In this time of fear, when prayer so often proves in vain,
                         G                  Dm            Em
    hope seems like the summer birds, too swiftly flown away.
         Am                 G        Em                Am
    And now I am standing here, my heart's so full I can't explain,
                        G                Dm                 G
    seeking faith and speaking words, I never thought I'd say. 

+ REFRAIN ending in C  + Am - F – G

                Em              G       C  - G
    They don't always happen when you ask,
              Am            G          C
    and it's easy to give in to your fear.

          F                            
    But when you're blinded by your pain,
           Am
    can't see your way safe through the rain,

         F                                   G
    as though a still resilient voice says, love is very near.
C                          G
    There can be miracles     when you believe,
Am                   Em           F             - G
    though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
C                            G
    Who knows what miracles     you can achieve,
Am               Em          F                 Am
    when you believe, somehow you will,  somehow you will,
Dm                  G      Am
    you will when you believe.
Dm                 G     C      - Am          C     - Am
   You will when you believe,       just believe,
            C      - Am     C                 G     C
    just believe,             you will when you believe
