That’s How You Know? Lyrics

When You BelieveThe Prince of Egypt

“There can be miracles when you believe-Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill.

Who knows what miracles you can achieveSomehow you will,

You will when you believe.”

Color’s Of The Wind Pocahontas

“How high will the sycamore grow?If you cut it down, then you’ll never know.

And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned.We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains

We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.”

Defying GravityWicked

“It’s time to try defying gravityI think I’ll try defying gravity,And you can’t pull me down.”

That’s How You Know Enchanted

“He’ll find a new way to show youA little bit everyday

That’s how you knowThat’s how your know he’s your

love.”
