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
