英语PK台 第173期:惠特尼·休斯顿--《当你相信时》

 Song: When You Believe

Artists: Whitney Houston Mariah Carey

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...oh yes

There can be miracles, when you believe.

Though hope is frail¹

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 birds

Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I am standing² 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 always happen when you ask

And it's easy to give in to your fears

But when you're blindedby your pain

Can't see your way safe through the rain

Hope is still a resilient voice

Says love is very near

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

Now you will

You will when you believe

You will when you believe

You will when you believe

Just believe

I believe

You will when you believe
