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



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 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 there's a tremblin' question

Still I am sure that the answer

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

Oh please let my dream come true right now

Let it come true right now
