Intro

C - Am C - Am

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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 why won't that sun ap-pear?   

Bridge

We're lost in a cloud with too much of 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)

Verse 3

Deep in my heart there's a tremblin' question. 
Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow.
Out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle, oh yeah
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
Right now 
Let it come true right now
