Album version[]
The full version is heard on the film's official soundtrack album and on Josh Groban's single album.
Children sleeping
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling
Like bells in the distance
We were dreamers, not so long ago
But one by one we, all had to grow up
When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside,
and give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
if you just believe
Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight, to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way,
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need,
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
Just believe
Just believe
Edited Version[]
This version is heard over the first set of the film's main-on-end credits sequence.
Children sleeping
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling
Like bells in the distance
We were dreamers, not so long ago
But one by one we, all had to grow up
When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside,
and give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need,
if you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
