Lyrics
If I Can Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But a 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 gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can walk
While I can stand, while I can talk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh, yeah
