Lyrics
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 whyThere 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 appearWe’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 flyDeep in my heart there’s a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer, answer’s gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle, yeah 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 Oh yeah
