It was 1998 Dreamworks released an animated feature film called "Prince of Egypt". The movie is an adaption of the Book of Exodus about Moses journey to free his people from slavery and finding the promise land.
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts, a hopeful song
We barely understood
Our take on this inspirational song: in your heart you know what you want, you know what its true. Sometimes it will be confusing, and you can "barely understand" but keep on "praying".
You can't understand now but keep doing what you heart is telling you to do, because that it's the truth.
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
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
Oh yeah, 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'm standing here
My heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'll say
Our take on this inspirational song: The line between hope and despair can be very thin. It's easy to have hope, but it's also easy to despair, but one will get you there, the other will get you nothing.
Hope is what you must have, even though like the song says even if you "can't explain" stay true to your believes and "words" you "never thought" you'll say can come out of your mouth.
Things that you think are impossible can happen, if just stay with it a little longer than you can, a little longer than what you are capable of, a little longer than your last time.
Stay with your goals and dreams, don't lose faith even if it seems hope is gone.
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 hope is very near, oh
You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe
I believe, I believe
Just believe
You will when you believe
On that film's soundtrack an inspirational song stands out, it's called "When You Believe" it was written and composed by Stephen Schwartz, interpreted by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. We've chose this song to be on our Songs That Truly Inspire Us list.
What's the main topic of this song? Miracles! Miracles are about spirituality, whether you are religious or not, you must acknowledge that mind and body can only by complete with spirituality. So you have to believe something that you can't see, you have to be moved by faith not by sight in the journey to achieve our dreams.
Come on... they are dreams because they aren't real yet! So you have to believe them without seeing them, just like miracles. Maybe your dream to some can be consider a miracle.

"When You Believe" Lyrics and Analysis
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts, a hopeful song
We barely understood
Our take on this inspirational song: in your heart you know what you want, you know what its true. Sometimes it will be confusing, and you can "barely understand" but keep on "praying".
You can't understand now but keep doing what you heart is telling you to do, because that it's the truth.
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
Our take on this inspirational song:: Here there is a sort of a change, "Now", they passed from doubting to not fearing. Although we know what we want, fear can block us from doing the necessary things. It's indispensable that you go out and do what you have to do regardless. That's what the last sentences are all about, although fear exists, you have to do it without doubting, even if it is "moving mountains" - this is a known expression to all of us, it means doing the impossible.
Do the impossible before you know you could what a great line! You don't need to know you can do it to do it! Just do it and become aware of by doing.
There can be miracles when you believeThough 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
Our take on this inspirational song:: Believe and believe if you want "miracles" to occur. A miracle it's something that it's viewed as impossible to achieve, so many times in our modern society we are confronted with negative opinions, nay sayers, and time after time, what was consider impossible became possible because someone believed!
Hope it's a characteristic some may see as fragile, but it has the endurance needed to resist all the negative aspects you may find.
Focus on the great part of "miracle making", if you believe who knows what kind of miracle you can achieve? Who know what dreams you can achieve? You decide the dreams it can be whatever you want as a long as you believe you can do it, anything can be possible. WOW! What a great sight! Somehow someway things will work if you take the first step, that is, to believe.
Oh yeah, 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'm standing here
My heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'll say
Our take on this inspirational song: The line between hope and despair can be very thin. It's easy to have hope, but it's also easy to despair, but one will get you there, the other will get you nothing.
Hope is what you must have, even though like the song says even if you "can't explain" stay true to your believes and "words" you "never thought" you'll say can come out of your mouth.
Things that you think are impossible can happen, if just stay with it a little longer than you can, a little longer than what you are capable of, a little longer than your last time.
Stay with your goals and dreams, don't lose faith even if it seems hope is gone.
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 hope is very near, oh
Our take on this inspirational song: If you ask you shall get, but that doesn't mean you will get it immediately. Be patient.
Again it's easy to despair and let fear stop you from what you're doing. But they give us a reason not to let fear conquer our minds, because if you do so, you'll be blinded and things will not seem as bright as they really are. So the more fear conquers you, the less of your way to conquer your dreams you will see. Don't give in to fear.
Hope it could be gone, but it's near, move that way so you can catch it once more, Move away from fear, go to where there's hope.
You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe
I believe, I believe
Just believe
You will when you believe
Our take on this inspirational song: BELIEVE!
Be GREAT!
