Lyrics for Song: When You Believe
Lyrics for Album: The Profile [2011]
Many nights we 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... (whoa, yes)
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 proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
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 (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 fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small but still resilient voice
Says love is very near...
There can be miracles (Miracles)
When you believe (Boy, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
[It's hard...] (Hard to kill, oh)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you believe...
(You will when you) You will when you...believe...
Just believe... (You will...)
[You gotta believe...] (Just believe...)
You will when you...
...Believe.

When You Believe - Whitney Houston
Released in 2011 as a duet with CeeLo Green, 'When You Believe' stands as a defining moment in Whitney Houston's later career, marking her return to the pop ballad genre after a period focused on gospel and spiritual themes. The track, featured on the soundtrack for the film 'The Promised Land,' showcases Houston's signature vocal power and emotional depth, blending contemporary R&B production with her classic soulful delivery. As a collaborative effort, the song highlights her ability to adapt her style while maintaining the powerful, emotive quality that characterized her work on iconic soundtracks such as 'The Bodyguard.' The recording serves as a testament to her enduring legacy, bridging the gap between her early 1990s commercial peak and her later spiritual explorations, offering a powerful example of her versatility as a vocalist. |
