There must be lights burning brighter somewhere, my friends Got to be birds, 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, tell me why, why can't I dream you There must be peace and understanding somewhere out there Strong winds of hope, hope and promise are gonna blow away the hate If I can dream of a warmer sun Where all my brothers are havin' fun Tell me why, tell me why, why can't I dream you We're lost in a cloud with too much rain We're trapped in a world full of trouble, trouble and pain But as long as a man has the strength to dream He can redeem himself and fly Deep in my heart there's a burning, burning question, brother man And I know the answer, why, I know the answer is coming my way Alone in the darkness, well I'm not afraid 'Cause I can dream, I can walk I can breathe, I can talk I can do, I can scream I can na--, I can m-- I wanna see my dream, I wanna see my dream Come true My dream come true, my dream come true My dream come true, my dream come true My dream come true
