When You Believe

Bm                A            F#m         Bm
Many nights we've prayed, with no proof anyone could hear
Bm              D               Em          F#m
In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood    B           A                               Bm
Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear
G              D                Em              A
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could


Chorus:


D                    A/C#
There can be miracles, when you believe
Bm             A           G
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
D                     A/C#
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
Bm          A
When you believe
    G            Em              A       Bm
Somehow you will,  you will when you believe
 
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)

In this time of fear, when prayer so often proves in vain

Hope seemed like the summer birds 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


 Chorus:


E                   B/D#
There can be miracles, when you believe
C#m            B           A
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
E                     B/D#
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
C#m         B
When you believe
    A            F#m             B      E
Somehow you will,  you will when you believe
 
Bridge: 
E  C#m  A  B
 
           C#m           B/D#     E     B  E/G#
They don’t always happen when you ask
         C#m          B/D#       E     B  E/G#
And it’s easy to give in to your fear
    A                   E/G#    B
But when you’re blinded by your pain
      E        B/D#     C#m         B
Can’t see your way safe through the rain
C#m
Thought of a still resilient voice
     B
Says love is very near
 
Chorus:


F#                  C#/F
There can be miracles, when you believe
Ebm            C#          B
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
F#                    C#/F
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
Ebm         C#
When you believe
    B             Ebm
Somehow you will, now you will
B             C#     Ebm  C#
You will when you believe
B             C#     F#
You will when you believe

Storyline, The Prince Of Egypt (1998):

The film begins in Egypt, in which a Jewish settlement is raided by the Pharoah's men, to slaughter the slave's infants. A woman and her two children steal away to the Nile River, where the mother sets the baby adrift in a reed basket, hoping this will save her child. The reed basket eventually makes its way to the Pharoah's palace, where his wife finds the baby inside. The Queen chooses to keep the baby, and names him Moses.

Many years later, Moses and his elder brother Rameses have become rather reckless teenagers, much to the disdain of their father. After causing a major sculpture to be damaged, Pharoah reprimands his sons, claiming how he worries how 'one weak link' could ruin the family dynasty, as Rameses is next in line for the throne. Rameses leaves, but Moses tells his father that his brother just needs an opportunity to prove himself.

Later in the evening, a banquest is held in which Pharoah names Rameses as Prince Regent. Rameses, taking one of his rings, gives it to Moses and joyfully names his younger brother as Royal Chieg Architect.

The high priests Hotep and Huy come forward, and present Tzipporah as a gift to Rameses. However,she refuses to behave, and Rameses jokingly offers her to Moses. She is taken to Moses' chambers, where he soon finds that Tzipporah has escaped. However, instead of having the guards recapture her, he follows her as she leaves the palace and moves into the Jewish settlement. It is here that Moses is surprised when a woman named Miriam recognizes him. She claims that she is his sister, and that a man nearby (named Aaron) is his brother. Moses is incensed at this, but Miriam relates how he came to come in the palace. Moses runs back to the palace, where he encounters his father. When Moses observes the hieroglyphics showing the death of the first-born infants, his father explains this was a precaution to keep the slaves from causing an uprising.

The next morning, Rameses is telling of a new construction project to several advisers, and with Moses present. However, Moses is not paying attention, and soon observes a slave being whipped violently. Moses moves to prevent this, but in the process, ends up knocking the guard off a high scaffold, and to his death. Realizing the penalty for killing a person, Moses attempts to run away, but is soon stopped by Rameses, who claims he will make sure that his brother is not punished. However, Moses is still shook up based on the revelation that Miriam has made, and refuses his Brother's words.

Moses wanders off into the desert, discarding his royal ornaments along the way, but keeps the ring given to him by Rameses. One day, almost close to death, he encounters a group of camels that lead him to an oasis. At the oasis, Moses observes some bandits attempting to steal from some young girls. Moses manages to save the girls, and soon finds that they are related to Tzipporah, who is not at all happy at seeing Moses again.

That evening, Tzipporah's father Jethro holds a celebration in thanks for what Moses has done, though Moses claims that his past actions make him unworthy. However, Jethro refuses to believe this.

Moses grows to become a member of Jethro's tribe, and soon marries Tzipporah. One day, chasing a stray lamb, Moses finds himself in a cavern with a burning bush, alight in a way he has never seen before. The bush then speaks, revealing that it is the voice of God, who has heard the cries of the Israelites. The voice says that Moses will speak to Pharoah, and convince him to let the Jews go free. Moses is at first apprehensive, given that he was the son of Pharoah, the man who murdered the children of the slaves. However, the voice commands Moses to go forth, promising to smite Egypt with His 'wonders' if Pharoah does not listen.

Moses returns to Tzipporah and tells her of what transpired in the cave. She agrees to accompany Moses back to his former home. Upon reaching the palace, Moses finds that his father is dead, and Rameses has become the new Pharoah, married with a son of his own. The two brothers greet each other jovially, with Rameses eager to welcome Moses back, forgiving the events that drove him away. Moses explains that things cannot return to how they once were, and requests that Rameses let the slaves go free, as requested by God. Moses then demonstrates God's power, as his wooden staff becomes a snake. Rameses just smirks at this 'trick,' and has Hotep and Huy conjure their own magic, which is nothing but cheap trickery. This impresses the rest of Rameses' court, but not Moses or Tzipporah.

Rameses and Moses soon after meet in private, where Moses returns the royal ring that his brother had given him so long ago. As they talk, Rameses soon hardens in demeanor, declaring that he does not acknowledge his brother's God, or the request to allow the Israelites to leave. Moses pleads for his brother to reconsider, but Rameses claims he will not be the 'weak link' in his family's dynasty.

Rameses then orders the workload doubled for the slaves, and says that this is due to Moses and his God. Several of the slaves shun Moses, including Aaron. Miriam however, harbors no ill will towards her brother, claiming that God saved Moses from death for a purpose. On the Nile river near them, Moses sees Rameses, his son, Hotep and Huy on a royal barge. Moses walks a ways into the water, and yells for Rameses to "Let his people go!" Rameses scoffs at this, until Moses places his staff in the water, turning the Nile to blood. Unsure how this is achieved, Rameses demands Hotep and Huy duplicate this. Using some red powder, they claim that the power of their gods can do the same, and Rameses just dismisses Moses' 'trick.' Aaron claims that nothing will help them, but Moses promises that God will see to it that they are free.

A series of plagues then begin to befall Egypt. Locusts destroy crops, the people come down with terrible sores on their skin, and fire rains down from the sky. Even with all these events and more, Rameses still refuses to give in to Moses' request.

Soon after, the land is covered in darkness, and Moses goes to see his brother. As they talk, a flicker of brotherly love seems almost rekindled, until Rameses' son comes in and demands to know if Moses is the reason for what has befallen Egypt. With his son close by, Rameses once again sheds his friendlier side and narrows his eyes. Moses explains that the plagues would end if Rameses would just fulfill his request, and says he feels something even more terrifying will happen, pleading for Rameses to think of his son. Rameses says he does, and proposes that he will 'finish the job' that his father was not able to do, promising a greater massacre among the slaves than ever before.

Moses leaves sadly, and instructs the slaves to put lamb's blood above their doors for protection. In the night, the angel of death comes, and passes over the protected doors. In the homes of the Egyptians where there is no protective sign, the angel kills off the first born children of Egypt, including Rameses' son. Moses goes to his brother after this, and is given permission to take the slaves.

Moses is at first distraught, but as the slaves make their way out of Egypt, their spirits lift. When they finally reach the Red Sea, a horn is heard behind them, and it appears that Rameses has gathered his army to finish off the slaves, given there appears no place to go. Suddenly, a pillar of fire descends from the heavens, separating the Israelites and Rameses' army. Moses then walks a ways into the Red Sea, and using his staff, parts the waters.

The slaves make their way through, but soon, the pillar of fire disappears, and Rameses and his men ride through the parted sea. Moses is able to get everyone across just as the water descends, drowning Rameses army. Rameses meanwhile, has been washed back ashore on the other side, and Moses can hear his brother's cries, though they come off as a cursing of his name. Moses quietly says goodbye to his brother, and proceeds on with the Israelites.

The final scene shows Moses descending from Mount Horeb holding two stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments by which God has deemed them to live by. by uruseiranma
