There must be lights burnin' brighter somewhere Got to be birds flyin' higher in the sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why (tell me why) Oh why (oh why) Oh why can't my dreams come true oh why?
There must be peace an' understandin' sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away The doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shinin' on ev'ryone Tell me why (tell me why) Oh why (oh why) Oh why won't the sun appear (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 As long as a man the strength to dream He can redeme his soul and climb... climb...
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 (in the dark) There's a beckoning candle yeah While I can think (I can think) While I can talk While I can stand (I can stand) While I can walk While I can dream I'll make my dream come true yeah Right now (If I can dream right now) yeah right now (If I can dream right now) I said if I can dream (of a better land) Where all my brothers walk hand in hand (ooh) Let it come true right now...
