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 dream come true, oh why (Why? Why?)

There must be peace and understanding sometime

Strong wind 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 (Why? Why?)

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 (He can fly)

Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question

Still, I am sure that the answer's, answer's gonna 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 talk, while I can stand, while I can walk

While I can dream, oh, please let my dream come true, oh, right now

(While I can dream)

Let it come true right now

(Please let my dream come true right now)

Oh, yeah
