Miriam (v1):
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
Miriam (c1):
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
Tzipporah (v2):
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 (Miriam: Now I'm standing
here)
With heart so full I can't explain
Zipporah and Miriam: Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
Tzipporah and Miriam (c2):
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
You can achieve (you can achieve)
When you believe?
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
Hebrew children (v3):
A-shir-a la-do-nai ki go-oh ga-ah
A-shir-a la-do-nai ki go-oh ga-ah
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar ba ko-desh
Na-chi-tah v'-chas d'-cha am zu galata
Na-chi-tah v'-chas d'-cha am zu galata
A-shir-a, a-shir-a, a-shir-a
(repeat)
All the Hebrews (c3):
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill (Miriam: it's hard to kill)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (Miriam: you can achieve)
When you believe?
Somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe (Hebrews: when you believe)
Miriam and Tzipporah (ending):
You will when you believe
It's about finding confidence in your own decisions, and believing that there is no such thing as impossible. They believed in God's power and that led the Hebrews to freedom. And no one knows what is really possible because of the idea of reality, which implies that not everything is possible, and there are limits. The sky is the limit, and the Hebrews believed, so they were shown the way by God.
