soundtrack
[Miriam]:
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
[Tzipporah]:
In this time of fear
When prayers 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
([both]: Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I’d say)
[Miriam and Tzipporah]:
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]:
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously)
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ga-oh ga-ah
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
(Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial)
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
(Who is like You, majestic in holiness)
Na-chi-tah v’-chas-d’-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
Na-chi-tah v’-chas-d’-cha am zu ga-al-ta
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra…
(I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ga-oh ga-ah
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ga-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 ga-al-ta
Na-chi-tah v’-chas-d’-cha am zu ga-al-ta
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra…
[Hebrews]:
There can be miracles
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
Now you will
You will when you believe
(When you believe)
[Miriam and Tzipporah]:
You will when you believe
