One minute’s fading, one minute’s past
But I’ve got this moment to make it all last
I’m standing before you taking my chance
On everything
I never thought that I could be
‘Cause you can do almost anything

If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
The higher you climb, the better it gets
‘Cause you will see things you’ll never forget
If you just believe

It’s like I’m falling through my own fears
They used to haunt me, but now they’re not here
There’s no looking back, my future is clear
No giving up
And I’m holding on when it gets rough
‘Cause you can get through most anything

If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
The higher you climb, the better it gets
‘Cause you will see things you’ll never forget
If you just believe

No one says it’s easy
And no one says you have to be perfect
But as long as you try
You’re always gonna find it was worth it

If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
The higher you climb, the better it gets
‘Cause you will see things you’ll never forget

If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
If you just believe
