"When You Believe" is a song from the 1998 DreamWorks musical animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It was written and composed by Stephen Schwartz. A pop single version of "When You Believe", with additional music and lyrics by writer-producer Babyface, was also recorded for the film by American singers Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for the film's end credits and its soundtrack album. Additionally, the song serves as the lead single for both Houston's fourth studio album, My Love Is Your Love and Carey's first compilation album, #1's. The original version of the song, featured in the narrative portion of the film, is performed by Sally Dworsky, Michelle Pfeiffer, and a children's choir (children’s choir soloist: Andrew Bryan). "When You Believe" is described as a big ballad, with meaningful and inspirational lyrics, describing the ability each person has to achieve miracles when they reach out to God and believe.

Lyrics

Many nights we`ve prayed

With no proof anyone could hear

In our hearts a hope for a 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 prayers so often prove in vain

Hope seems like the summer birds

Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I`m standing here

My heart`s 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


They don`t know it`s often when you ask

(Oh)

And it`s easy to give in to your fears

(Oh...Ohhhh)

But when you`re blinded by your pain

Can`t see your way straight throught the rain

Boy,am i still resilient voice

Says love is the relief

(Ohhh)

There can be miracles

(Miracles)

When you believe

(Lord, when you believe)

Though hope is frail

(Though hope is frail)

It`s hard to kill

(Hard to kill, Ohhh)

Who knows what miracles,you can achieve

When you believe, somehow you will(somehow,somehow, somehow)

somehow you will

You will when you believe

You will when you

You will when you believe

Just believe...in your heart

Just believe

You will when you believeeeeeeeeeee
