It encourages listeners to keep faith and trust that help is near, even in painful times.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
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
My 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
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
(You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near
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 (miracles) you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
(Somehow you will)
Now you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
