Story Behind The Song
I longed to write a song that every one could relate to and that had a heart felt message. One evening I was finger picking my guitar, had this melody in my head. I was deep in thought and was wondering why so many dreams have been shattered by fear. How I would love to see some of my mountains crumble and fall. The words and music fit like a glove. I came to the conclusion that faith can move a mountain, change the course, reverse the tide and win the race If Only I Believe.

Lyrics
IF ONLY I BELIEVE
Words and music by: Len Peters
To many dreams have been shattered by fear It's not right.
So many days have just wasted away It's not right.
Sometimes I feel I'm up against a wall.
I wanna see my mountains crumble and fall.
HOW I LONG TO SEE A NEW HORIZON
OH THE DESSERT IS A DRY AND THIRSTY PLACE
I BELIEVE THAT FAITH COULD MOVE A MOUNTAIN, CHANGE THE COURSE, REVERSE THE TIDE AND WIN THE RACE.
IF ONLY I BELIEVE, IF ONLY I BELIEVE.
So many roads that a heart has to choose What's right or wrong.
Sometimes the bridge I wanna cross is gone.
I only hope my eyes can clearly see.
That dreams come true, If only I believe. Chorus Repeat
