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 dreams come true? Oh, why?

There must be peace and understanding sometimes
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 mе why, oh why?
Oh, why won't that sun appear?

We're lost in a cloud with too much rain
Wе'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, oh

Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question
Still, I am sure that the answer
The answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, 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
Oh, right now, oh, oh, right now
