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 of 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, please let my dream
Come true right now, let it come true right now oh yeah
