Al Jarreau - Could You Believe lyrics

rate me

Could you believe in a dream when I tell you that it's true?

Could you believe precious friend of mine?

And would you believe when it seems you are glad with what you do

Give you courage to carry, give you courage to carry

Courage to carry your spirit up on high

Just to carry your spirit up on high

I saw people in trouble, yes heard the angels cry

Now don't tamper with my children, no, no, 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 it's true?

And could you believe precious friend of mine?

And would you believe when it seems you are glad with what you do

It'll give you the courage to carry, the courage to carry

Courage to carry your freedom up on high

Go 'head and carry your spirit up on high

Oh, I could sing at times and reasons

Reason to lay your burden softly down

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 am homeward bound

Could you believe in a dream when I tell you that it's true?

And could you believe precious, precious friend of mine?

Would you believe when it seems you are glad with what you do

It will give you courage to carry, give you courage to carry up

Just to carry your spirit up on high, Lord

Just to carry your spirit up on high, up on high

Oh yeah, can carry up on, carry

Oh I make this promise, my Lord, I'm gonna carry

Ooh, and I promise to look for that little light

Little bit of light, gonna look for that light

Gonna look for that light bit of light when my heart is in trouble

Oh and I make this promise to look for that light

Little bit of light when my man is worried

You see the same night that brought the children through, yes it is

And it's the same night that brings the spirit through

He'll believe, gonna believe, I'm gonna believe

Don't you believe, I'm gonna believe, I'm gonna believe

Yes, I do believe, oh yes, I do believe

I'm going to believe, I'm gonna believe y'all

And I gotta believe, I gotta believe, I gotta believe

My better taught me to believe

My mama taught me to believe

And I believe, and I believe, I believe, I believe

Just believe, just believe, just believe, just believe

Just believe, just believe, just believe, just believe

Just believe, just believe, just believe, just believe, oh my friend

Try it out one more time, try it out my son

And you'll learn how to believe
