When you believe (From the Prince of Egypt) (midi)

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,

Am G Am

you will when you believe.

Am G Em Am

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.

+ CHORUS 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,

Am G Am

you will when you believe.

Am G C - Am C - Am

You will when you believe, just believe,

C - Am C G C

just believe, you will when you believe
