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 WON'T MY DREAMS COME TRUE?

THERE MUST BE PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING SOMETIMES
STRONG WINDS OF PROMISE TO 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 TRAPPED IN CLOUD WITH TOO MUCH RAIN
WE'RE CAUGHT IN A WORLD THAT'S TROUBLED WITH PAIN
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'S GONNA COME SOMEHOW
OUT IN THE DARK IS A BECKONING CANDLE
WHILE I CAN THINK WHILE I CAN TALK
WHILE I CAN STAND WHILE I CAN WALK
WHILE I CAN DREAM,  PLEASE LET MY DREAMS
COME TRUE, RIGHT NOW
