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 sometimes, 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 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 trembling question, still I am sure that the answer...answer is 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, please let my dream come true, right now, Let it come true right now, oh.
