If I Can Dream

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 dreams come true? Oh, why? There must be peace and understanding sometimes Strong winds of promise that will blow away 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 strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly, oh Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question Still, I am sure that the answer The answer's 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 dream come true Oh, right now, oh, oh, right now
