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
