In our heart a hopeful song

Now we are not afraid

Although we know there's much to fear

We were moving the mountain long

Before we knew we could

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

并非每个人都能听见

我们心中的希望之歌

自己也不能理解

现在我们并不害怕

虽然我们知道未来有许多艰难险阻

我们负重已久

只是原来并不清楚我们的能力

奇迹将会出现

只要你肯相信

希望虽然渺茫

却不可磨灭

谁知道你会创造怎样的奇迹

只要你肯相信

你就会

只要你肯相信,你就会创造奇迹
