Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Nothing can make you high Or put fire in your eyes Or give you a chance to fly When you need the wings When all that you've got is doubt And nothing can stop you from feeling down But, oh, I know I know exactly how you feel But can you believe now When you're on your knees now Begging and pleading now? Can you believe When all that you've got is doubt And no one to pull you out When your heart is slowin' down? Can you believe? See, the person I love the most Is so far away tonight And no other medicine or promise is Gonna heal me up right But I got to believe That her and me Will be together 'Cause that's all I got And, oh, I know When you're down at the bottom Can you believe? Can you believe now When you're on your knees now Begging and pleading now? Can you believe When all that you've got is doubt And no one to pull you out When your heart is slowin' down? Can you believe? Can you believe when all hope seems gone When your mother and father can't keep you safe from harm? Can you forgive in your heart? Can you ask for forgiveness? When nobody else believes, can you believe? Can you believe in yourself? Can you believe When all that you've got is doubt And no one to pull you out When your heart is slowin' down? Can you believe? If nobody's watchin' You will never know If somebody's watchin' You will never know If nobody's watchin' You will never know If somebody's watchin' You will never know If nobody's watchin' You will never know If somebody's watchin' You will never know Can you believe now When you're on your knees now Begging and pleading now? When your heart is slowin' down? Can you believe?
