There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying 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, oh why Oh why can't my dream come true Oh why? There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds are 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 trouble with pain As long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and climb Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow Out there in the dark There's a beckoning candle here 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 If I can dream right now I say, if I can dream Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Let it come true Right now
