Lyrics
There must be lights burning brighter somewhereGot to be birds flying higher in a sky more blueIf I can dream of a better landWhere all my brothers walk hand in handTell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come trueOh why
There must be peace and understanding sometimeStrong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fearIf I can dream of a warmer sunWhere hope keeps shining on everyoneTell me why, oh why, oh why won’t that sun appear
We’re lost in a cloudWith too much rainWe’re trapped in a worldThat’s troubled with painBut as long as a manHas the strength to dreamHe can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there’s a trembling questionStill I am sure that the answer, answer’s gonna come somehowOut there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle, yeahAnd while I can think, while I can talkWhile I can stand, while I can walkWhile I can dreamOh, please let my dreamCome trueRight nowLet it come true right nowOh yeah
