Al Jarreau - Could You Believe lyrics

Could you believe in a dream When I tell you that it's true? Would you believe precious friend of mine? Could you believe when it seems You are glad with what you do It will give you 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 I heard the angels cry 'Now don't tamper with my children' Made the Devil fly Spent the night with David He taught me what to say I was looking for a smooth stone When I heard him pray Could you believe in a dream When I tell you that its true? 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 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 Well, 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? Would you believe precious friend of mine? Could you believe when it seems You are glad with what you do It will give you the courage to carry The courage to carry your spirit up on high Just to carry your spirit up on high
