Конспект урока "When You Believe"
Mariah Carey – When You Believe
I. Listen to the song and order the verses.
A
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could.
……………………………………………………………………………………..
B
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
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe, just believe
You will when you believe.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
C
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood.
………………………………………………………………………………………
D
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 your way straight through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says love is very near.
……………………………………………………………………………………..
E
In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
……………………………………………………………………………………..
F
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.
……………………………………………………………………………………..
G
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.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
H
\Chorus\
……………………………………………………………………………………….
