Vance Gilbert – Could You Believe? lyrics

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true?
And would you believe, precious friend of mine?
Would you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do

It will give you the courage to carry
The courage to carry
The courage to carry your spirit up on high
Just to carry your spirit up on high

I saw people in trouble
And I heard the angels cry
"Now don't tamper with my children, no"
Made the Devil fly

Spent the night with David
He taught me what to say
Oh, I was lookin' for a smooth stone
When I heard him pray

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true?
And would you believe, precious friend of mine?
Would you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do

It will give you the courage to carry
The courage to carry
The courage to carry your spirit up on high
Just to carry your spirit up on high

Oh, I could sing of all kinds of reasons
Reasons to lay your burden softly down
What kings and prophets did for freedom
Precious dreams imprisoned underground

But I've got this song that I'll sing
And I'll make the mountains ring
Tell my mama that I'm homeward bound

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true?
And would you believe, precious friend of mine?
Would you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do

It will give you the courage to carry
The courage to carry
The courage to carry your spirit up on high
Just to carry your spirit up on high
