There must be lights burning brighter somewhere,
C Am F G
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue.
C C7
If I can dream of a better land
F F7
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand,
C Am F Em Dm
Tell me why, oh why, oh why, can't my dream come true?
G
(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 everyone
C Am F G C C7
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear?
F F7 C C7
We're lost in a cloud with too much rain,
F F7 C C7
We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain,
F F7 C Am
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
F G A
He can redeem his soul and fly, (he can fly)
D Bm G A

o yeah,
D Bm
And while I can think, while I can talk,
D Bm
While I can stand, while I can walk,
G
While I can dream,
Em
Oh please let my dream
G
Come true.
D Bm D Bm
Right now, let it come true now!
D G D
O yeah!
