About Believe

"I Believe" is a popular song written by Ervin Drake, Irvin Graham, Jimmy Shirl and Al Stillman in 1953. "I Believe" was commissioned and introduced by Jane Froman on her television show, and became the first hit song ever introduced on TV. Froman, troubled by the uprising of the Korean War in 1952 so soon after World War II, asked Drake, Graham, Shirl and Stillman to compose a song that would offer hope and faith to the populace. Froman's commercial recording reached No. 11 in the Billboard charts during a 10-week stay. "I Believe" has been recorded by many others, and has become both a popular and religious standard. Frankie Laine's version spent eighteen non-consecutive weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart. Laine also had the most successful version in the US, where he reached #2 for three weeks.

Hello my little dreamer
Lift up your head
Take my hand
And walk with Me a while
I jknow you thin I've forgotten
The promise I've made you
But I will never forsake you

(Chorus)
Believe the unbelivable
Dream the unthinkable
You can do all things
If you believe
You can reach the unreachable
See the unforseeable
All things are possible
To tem that believe

(Verse 2)
I know it's been a delay
But that doesn't mean
I've denied you
I've just been waiting for you
To give Me your dreams
So i can bring them to pass
ASnd I've done what you've asked

(Bridge)
There may be times
When the whole world
Says you're a fool
Against all odds
You ca put yuour trust in Me
And your dreams
Will become a reality
But You gota believe
