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 [bracketed] oh why [bracketed] 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 all the doubt and fear
if i can dream of a warmer sun
where hope keeps shining on everyone
tell me why [bracketed] oh why [bracketed] 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
[bracketed]
deep in my heart there's a trembling question
still i am sure that the answer's answer's gonna come [bracketed] somehow
out there in the dark [bracketed] 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
[bracketed]
