Elvis speaks to my life

For those of you who know me, you know that music is a big part of my life. I've recently been listening to a lot of Elvis Presley, etc. I came across this song the other day and had to share it.

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strenght to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answers gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dreams
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now

I'm not trying to be political or anything, I just think these lyrics speak so well into my heart right now. I particularly like the last verse. I'm at a pass in my life where dreams are staring to become reality. Life is falling into place. My hopes and dreams are out for the taking......

And I'm scared to death!

I'm reminded of the passage of scripture, "God I believe, help my unbelief!". Let my dreams come true, but not now!

Lord, move me from this place into a place that is ready to accept the actualization of my dreams!
