When You Believe

李家祥

“When You Believe”由国际流行乐坛的两位天后Whitney Houston和Mariah Carey共同演唱，是1998年的动画片《埃及王子》（The Prince of Egypt）的主题曲。其动听的旋律、励志的歌词使其在全球范围内传唱度极高。1999年，该歌曲获得了奥斯卡最佳原创歌曲奖以及金球奖最佳原唱歌曲奖提名。

2012年2月11日，Whitney Houston离开了人世，但她的歌声在人们心中永存。正如这首“When You Believe”，两位天后婉转清亮的歌声传进人们心里，仿佛能触及人们的灵魂深处。“There can be miracles when you believe. Though hope is frail， it's hard to kill.”世事多变，人生无常，面对未知的未来和现实的困境，我们一遍又一遍在心中默默祈祷。心中的祈求，谁能听到？希望的阙歌，谁能明了？在一次次失败与挫折中，我们被恐惧吓退了脚步，被疼痛磨去了信心，我们以为苍天无耳，祈祷无用，却又不肯放弃心中那一点微弱的希望之光。历经风雨，我们才渐渐知晓，只要我们内心足够强大，坚守战胜一切的无畏信念，奇迹就会出现。“Who knows what miracles you can achieve？ When you believe， somehow you will.”祈祷爱，就要相信爱，谁说你不会遇见爱的奇迹？祈求成功，就要相信自己，谁说你不能做出成就？每一个执着的勇士都是这样心怀必胜的信念，乘着一叶希望之舟，于茫茫大海中风雨飘摇，最终抵达了梦想的彼岸。

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.

Refrain *

They don't always happen when you ask，

And it's easy to give in to your fears.

But when you're blinded by your pain，

Can't see the way， get through the rain，

A small but still， resilient voice Says love is very near， oh.

Refrain *
