“Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” ~Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)
If I Can Dream...
This beautiful and inspirational song, lyrics and music, was written by Walter Earl Brown for Elvis Presley in 1968.
“There must be lights burnin' brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in the sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand...”

“We're caught in a cloud with too much rain
We're lost in a world with too much pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
And fly.”
“Music is the universal language of mankind.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Nicely done... photos and lyrics are a fine marriage.
"Wow", Linda. I have loved Elvis since I was in grade school. He was my favorite male artist and Leslie Gore my favorite female artist. I never heard this song!! I listened to it several times. Loved it.
Music can heal and carried enormous power. He rendered it very, very well. Thank you for sharing.
