If I Can Dream (First 'Stand-Up' Show - Live)

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, oh)

Oh, why can't my dream come true?

Oh, why?

There must be peace and understanding sometime

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, oh)

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

(Deep in my heart)

Deep in my heart there's a tremblin' question

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Still, I am sure that the answer's

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Answer's gonna come somehow

(Come somehow)

Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah

(Out there in the dark)

And while I can think (While I can think)

While I can talk (While I can talk)

While I can stand (While I can stand)

While I can walk (While I can walk)

While I can dream (Dream)

Please let my dream (Please)

Come true, oh, right now

(Let it come true)

Let it come true right now

(Let it come true)

Oh yeah

(Yeah, yeah)
