Could You Believe - Live, 1977

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
