C              Am       F         G
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
Tell me why, oh why, oh why, can't my dream come 
Dm       G
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 everyone


        C       Am      F              Dm
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun        
     C     C7
ap---pear?


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
Deep in my heart there's a tremblin question,
           D             Bm            
Still I am sure that the answer, answer's going to 
G        A
come somehow,
                 D   D7                   G 
Out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle,   
 Ab7
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
     A
Come true
      D   Bm                D   Bm
Right now, let it come true now!
  D    G   D
O yeah!
